#DidYouKnow: Peter Ndlovu, a Zimbabwean football legend, made history on March 14, 1995, by becoming the first foreign player to score a hattrick against Liverpool at Anfield Stadium since 1965 – a remarkable 30-year gap!
Before Ndlovu’s achievement, no foreign player had scored three goals in a single match against Liverpool at their iconic home stadium in over three decades. This impressive feat marked a highlight of his professional career in England.
Ndlovu’s achievement is even more remarkable as he was also the first African player to ever play in the English Premier League, paving the way for future generations of African players. His trailblazing career has left a lasting impact on the sport.
