actually, its none of them. Yakubu Aiyegbeni is the first and I think only African to have scored a hatrick in the UCL. That was back in his Maccabi Haifa days. I think it was against Man United. The guy has a whole lot of firsts. He is also the first African to reach the 100 goal mark in the EPL

I saw the highlight of that game when it happened. I really didn't know it was him, i would have thought it would be George Weah or someone else.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni didn't score up to 100 EPL goals.....
Didier Drogba is the first African to reach that land mark...
