Eredivisie: Herenveen 9 - Heracles 0

Nunu

...Afonso Alves scores 7:eek: That's got to be a record?

Edit: http://youtube.com/watch?v=a8lDedYark0

A couple of nice goals - the rest was really bad defending. Look at the state of their offside trap!
He might have got 8 if he didn't dummy for the last goal...anyway he got a bouquet of flowers for his efforts:D

As a side note,Gerald Sibon, ex-Sheff Wed got the other 2.

Alves's scoring record is just unbelieveable! Very surprised a bigger team didnt buy him during the summer. Had more then a goal a game last year! Obviously picking up where he left off!

City were meant to sign him in the summer. Apparently he's been in a bit of a strop lately and been playing reserves. Great player though.

Pepe LeFrits

He refused to play for Heerenveen because they refused a €16m bid from AZ for him. This was his first start of the season.

Heh, thats class, just took a look at the dutch table. After that game guess how many games played? 7. So in one start he's right back to his usual goal a game ratio!

Jesus , any decent striker seems to score shedloads in Holland.:)

pickarooney

Bet he gets dropped again for next week's match.

On the looks of it, probably a good move from Heerenveen No doubt after this sort of performance all the tops clubs wil consider him again.

Bounty Hunter

an expected transfer target come January for any of the big spending clubs whose strikers arent performing, him Instead of Harewood would have been nice.

By my count Alfonso Alves scored a 5 minute hat trick there. :eek:

Very close to Fowler's 4 and a half minute one.

Does Avles get more credit because it was actually his second hat trick in the game?

pickarooney

Some guy scored three in under two minutes in an eredivisie match according to an article on their website, but I can't find his name again.

That hardly counts. It was only against Bohs.
