Goddammit, I knew that one too...
As did Craig Bellamy.

That's a pretty good shout - he played for Watford in all four divisions from the bottom up but (and I looked it up) his first Hornets hat-trick came in 1982 against Sunderland in Division 1.
The player is, for reference, still active and didn't play for England (I think he'd have had eligibility through his father, but wasn't born in England).

I cheated. 
Was about to guess said player but I didn't think he played in the Premiership.

Yep!
He scored a Div3 hat-trick for Cardiff against Torquay in 2000, his first Div2 hat-trick for Cardiff against QPR in 2002, his first Div1 hat-trick for Cardiff against Gillingham in 2003, a League Cup hat-trick for Cardiff against Boston in 2002, and FA Cup hat-trick for Cardiff against Brizzle Rovers in 2000 and an International hat-trick for Wales against Scotland in 2004. His final flourish was for West Brom in the Premiership (as was) in 2005 - though he's scored another hat-trick since then.
Still at Cardiff City now. I say "still". I mean for the third time.

Awesome.
Four goalkeepers have scored goals in the Premier League. Name them and who they scored against. (Excluding own goals, obviously)

He got sent off for... something. Probably a second bookable. He responded by yelling obscenities at the referee, who showed him a second red. As he stormed off he pulled a corner flag up - don't know if it was triangular - and hurled it away, earning himself another red card.
The SFA has a peculiar Penalty Point system for discipline. He effectively received 5 penalty points for one yellow card, 1 penalty point for the second (earning a red), 8 penalty points for a red card for "offensive, insulting or abusive language" and another 8 penalty points for the equivalent offence of abusing the corner flag - 22 penalty points in one game. I think he managed a nine game ban for that.
