Thursday Throwback: Watch Carlton Palmer score a first half hat-trick for Sheffield Wednesday against QPR
That it came in the first half only adds to its excellence, as Wednesday ripped apart Rangers at Hillsborough on August 31.
And the goals weren't bad either. Palmer's first came at the end of a superb build-up, in which he too was involved, with the midfielder slotting home from 12 yards.

Wednesday would do on to win the game 4-1 with John Sheridan scoring the other for the Owls and Dennis Bailey on target for QPR but the day belonged to Palmer.
