Tommy Smith, New Zealand International and former Auckland FC defender scored his first ever hat-trick of his career at the tender age of 36.
A hat-trick is NOT easy when you’re a defender.
Anyway it happened when his team Bury Town beat Leiston 4-3.
Yes, Tommy’s third goal was also the winning goal in the 94th minute.
Great one Tommy!!
