Okay, I've a reason for asking this question and once we have the answer all will become clear as the thread progresses. It'll be quite a story. 

So, as title, which former Gers player scored a hat trick against Liverpool at Anfield  ? 

(I'll drop a few clues in as we go if necessary)

Pickles, Mark Falco, Kanchelskis, Robert Fleck and Duncan Ferguson, none James Beattie  and Sam English all wrong. 

"Was this in a domestic game ?"     Yes

"Premier League years ?    No

Clue 2) He scored his hat-trick for Everton in the league derby against Liverpool.

Now it gets interesting. 

"Scotsman Bobby Parker, signed from Glasgow Rangers in 1913 for a fee of £1,500, was Everton’s star man and top scorer, racking up 36 goals for the season. It was a total that constituted largely of an incredible six hat-tricks, one of which came in a 5-0 win at Anfield in October 1914. Shortly after he had fired his football club to the domestic title, he went off to serve his country on the battlefields. He returned with a bullet lodged in his back, an injury which prevented him from retaining his pre-war footballing ability."

Out of interest  what would  1500 be in today's money?
