"On 13 September, Andrew Tod scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline v Arbroath, notes Ian Golightly. His father, Andy Tod, scored a hat-trick for Dunfermline v Dundee on 1 January 2005. Are there any other examples of a father and son who have both scored a hat-trick for the same club? You would only need to travel around 18 miles for the first example."
"After many years enjoying the feature I may finally have something to add involving my beloved Hibernian, writes Rory Macpherson. Gary Murray scored a hat-trick against Clydebank in 1981, with his son Simon Murray hitting another against Arbroath in 2017. Next up: Benfica, where the legendary Jose Aguas scored 16 hat-tricks between 1950 and 1962. His son Rui Aguas bagged three of his own between 1986 and 1993, either side of a spell at Porto."
"And to Alvaro Sanchez for taking us to the north side of Dublin. In November 1967, 19-year-old Jimmy O'Connor scored a pretty memorable hat-trick for Shelbourne against Bohemians, begins Alvaro. At two minutes 13 seconds, it's the fastest in a top-flight domestic league! His son Barry O'Connor played for Shelbourne for just half a season apparently, but he scored a hat-trick in the last game of the 1993-94 season against Galway United. Barry's hat-trick was a leisurely affair, taking him a whole 20 minutes."
"Anyone with a passing knowledge of the Allen family won't be surprised that they are also on the list. Les Allen scored five goals for Tottenham against Crewe in the fourth round of the FA Cup in February 1960, notes John Curry. His son, Clive Allen, scored several hat-tricks for Spurs, his first against Aston Villa in the opening game of the 1986-87 season."
