three goals in four minutes. In regular play that is; not penalties.\n\n\nThe name Willie Hall is not readily recognised by even the most stat mad soccer fan - but Willie holds a scoring record that has endured since 1938!\n\nSigned by the London club Tottenham Hotspur from Notts County in 1932 for a fee of $4500, Hall was selected ten times for the England National Team between 1933 and 1939.\n\nOn 16 November 1938,at Manchester United's Old Trafford ground, England played Northern Ireland in a British Home Championship match.\n\nEngland went 1-0 up in eight minutes through a Tommy Lawton header before Hall wreaked havoc in the NI defense and entered the record books scoring three goals in four minutes!\n\nNot content with his 36, 38 and 40th. minute first half goals - Willie scored twice more in the second half to notch up five of England's seven goals.(England 7-0 Northern Ireland).\n\nAn England international scoring record (most goals by a single player in a match) only equalled by two other players - Steve Bloomer in 1896 and Malcolm MacDonald in 1975.\n\nHall scored 4 other goals in his ten match England career (9 goals in ten matches) and scored 27 goals in 205 appearances for Tottenham.

I think in addition to the ones in the first answer John Bond played his goalkeeping son when he was at Norwich City and they were in the old first division which is the Premiership now and also what about Cloughie, did he not play Nigel Clough too?

Roberto Di Matteo at Wembley - Saturday 20th May 1997\n\nScore : Chelsea 2 Middlesborough 0\n\nRoberto Di Matteo............Picking up a pass from Wise, who had won the ball from Robbie Mustoe, the Italian midfielder ran unchallenged from inside his own half before beating Ben Roberts from 25 yards with a shot that dipped wickedly over the young Middlesbrough goalkeeper and went in off the crossbar.........What a Goal !!!!!!!!\n\nIt was a stunning blow made possible not only by Di Matteo's mastery of technique but also the clever, diversionary run by Hughes that removed Nigel Pearson as the last line of a defence. \n\nThe goal was timed at 42 seconds, which made it the fastest scored in an FA Cup final this century. It beat by three seconds the goal with which Jackie Milburn put Newcastle ahead against Manchester City in 1955.
