Dennis Lincoln Bailey (born 13 December, 1965, in Lambeth, London) is an ex-professional footballer, and is best known for being the last player to score a league hat-trick against Manchester United at Old Trafford for Queens Park Rangers as part of a 4-1 scoreline.The only other player to score a hat-trick at Old Trafford since then is the Brazilian star Ronaldo, who managed a hat-trick in the UEFA Champions League for Real Madrid in the 2002-03 season.
The high profile of this hat-trick, scored on January 1 1992, was boosted by the fact that it was one of the last league games in England to be broadcast live on ITV. Andy Sinton scored the other QPR goal.
