In the wake of Sydney forward Malcolm Rosas Jnr's incredible seven-goal performance against Melbourne, it got the brain cogs thinking about similar standout efforts in football.
Rosas, in a forward line consisting of Charlie Curnow, Joel Amartey and Tom Papley as well as midfielders Isaac Heeney and Chad Warner, wasn't tipped to heavily impact the scoreboard, but was the surprise packet in the Swans victory.
The former Gold Coast Sun's performance inspired a thought train, researching some of the best 'bolt from the blue' moments in football. However, he didn't make it inside the top 10.

Many used to gang up on the Suns, but Essendon and Kyle Reimers set records back in 2011 under the roof at Docklands.

The small forward slotted eight goals from 20 possessions.
