On this day in 1954, Chelsea legend Roy Bentley became the first Englishman to score a hat-trick at the Wembley Stadium.
It was the British Home Championship and England were up against Wales. Bentley scored three goals to secure a crucial 3-2 win. The legendary John Charles provided the two goals for the Welshmen.
The Three Lions went on to record an even better win in their next game. Also played at Wembley, England humiliated Scotland with a 7-2 thrashing. Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Dennis Wilshaw scored four, Bolton’s Nat Lofthouse scored a brace while the future Leeds United and England manager Don Revie added another.
