NOT many players score hat-tricks at Wembley Stadium.
As such, Warrington Rylands striker Elliott Nevitt is in elite company after his superb treble in yesterday's FA Vase Final.

Having scored twice in the first half – once from the penalty spot immediately after Binfield had equalised – his second-half header proved decisive as Blues saw out a 3-2 win.
The last player to score a hat-trick on the hallowed turf before Nevitt was England captain Harry Kane, who netted three times in a 7-0 victory for the Three Lions over Montenegro back in November 2019.
And you would have to go all the way back to 1979 for the last player to score a treble in an FA Vase Final, which was Billericay Town's Doug Young against Almondsbury Greenway.
All of that came just six days after Nevitt helped Liverpool side Campfield to the FA Sunday Cup title, scoring the winner as they beat Peterlee Catholic Club 1-0 at St George's Park.
