Thanks,Mighty,I just wondered because any Goals scored are wiped off a Players Record.I think it happened to Denis Law who had scored 5 in the 60's in a Cup-Tie, which was lost when the game was replayed.Once again Thank You for your response.
I rermember reading about that Cup match..I think Law scored 6 for Man City against Luton and the game was abandoned..They lost the replayed fixture as well!
