    Just going off a few, but Forde, the entire mid and Long all played LoI, as did Doyle on the bench.

    Don't know where O'Shea and McShane fit in though? Unless they're different O'Sheas or McShanes of course. Lafferty played IL I'm fairly sure.

    So - they all started their careers in the domestic league?

    Hertha Berlin beat Hoffenheim 1-0 at the weekend.

    Since these kind of stats first started being compiled in 1994 (for the German league at least), what particular stat was this the first game to achieve?

    Had a quick look at some stats on this, and the only unusual thing I can see is that there was only one shot on target all game? So one shot and one goal?

    Here's an article on the game actually, with a few photos of the blizzard during it.

    Edit - actually, it was an own goal - so was it that Hertha had no shots on target but still won?

    It was the first game with no shots on target.

    I think this is a trick question. A hat-trick at every level is the obvious answer, but his really unique achievement is this.

    Hat trick at every level in England, FA Cup, League cup and national team.

    I'd have a guess at Ernst Happel Stadion (Praterstadion).
