I saw an interesting thing in the football results from last night in the game between Sheffield united and Fulham
a player from each side scored a hat-trick so who gets the ball

Good question!

My guess would be the first player who scored a hat - trick .

I dont think there is any thing written down in FA/FIFA rules over this, but my understanding is the first player to score the hat-rick gets the match ball, it has happened before even three players scoring hat-tricks in a game.

Football clubs tend to have more than one ball.

now days they might use twenty balls in a game, but back in the day only one was used, and when the ball ended in the stands , the fans would sometimes hold on to it , so as to waste time if their team was winning.

What you doing staying up late when I am in the uk hubby. Xxx

My Other Half says "Whoever gets his paws on it first!!!" Personally, I have never heard of this thingy with the ball before but, I can see why the player would want the trophy.
