Dennis Lincoln Bailey (born 13 December 1965, in Lambeth, London) is a former professional footballer, and is best known for being the last player to score a league hat-trick against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Bailey netted three times for Queens Park Rangers as part of a 4-1 scoreline on New Year's Day 1992. 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 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.
He made his QPR debut against Arsenal on the opening day of the 1991-92 season, scoring in a 1-1 draw. He played 39 league games scoring 10 goals. He moved to Charlton Athletic on loan in 1993.
He retired in November 2006, his final club being Stratford Town in the Midland Football Alliance.
