I seem to remember a game Andy Hunt scores a hat trick
Pretty sure it was against Brighton ?

Found it, it was 1993  

I seem to remember (though no doubt Ska'd will school me yet again  ) that Brighton took the lead with an absolute stonker of a goal into the Brummie Road End - a shot which a lot of Baggies fans applauded but which the bloke sat next to me uncharitably described as 'hit and hope'.

Nah, you've got that spot on

The one thing I clearly remember about that match was everyone around me - and I mean literally everyone - bashing Hunt from pillar to post for three-quarters of the match (it was his Albion debut, we'd just loaned him off Newcastle where his reputation was pretty iffy, and he was loafing about like a bloke who couldn't be arsed.)

"Gerrimmoff!"
"Hunt, yome rubbish!"
"Get yer hair cut!"
"Tuck yer shirt in ya lazy bastard!"

Ten minutes later he had the match ball and was an Albion legend
