And as Jordan Rhodes contorted to seal his third in their a rampant 4-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, he became the first man since Derek Dooley back in 1951 to score an first-half away treble, that time at West Ham United.
But who has scored more recent trios and what of Rhodes’ penchant for match balls?
Let’s take a look at a few interesting facts around the forward, the Owls and hat-tricks.
5. And three for Bartman
The other Premier League treble came via an unlikely source - fan favourite Chris Bart-Williams. He bagged three in a 5-2 win over Southampton in April 1993. | Getty Images Photo: Clive Brunskill
6. Four or against
Saturday's return isn't perhaps the most memorable Rhodes hat-trick in a match involving Wednesday. His four-goal return for Huddersfield at Hillsborough in December 2011 is lauded as one of the finest individual displays by an opposition player in recent years in a famous 4-4 draw. | Getty Images Photo: Steev Ellis
7. Two in 10 days for Mellor
On-loan Preston forward Neil Mellor took home two match balls in as many weeks back in 2011. His treble in the 4-1 Football League Trophy win over Hartlepool was followed up by three headed goals at MK Dons in the league 10 days later. | Getty Images Photo: Steve Ellis
8. Bees-y does it
Rhodes' first career hat-trick came as far back as January 2009, when on loan with League Two Brentford from Ipswich. He provided all the goals in a 3-1 away win at Shrewsbury and announced himself onto the professional stage. | Getty Images Photo: Warren Little
