* Stan Cribbs, in the first three games of the 1932/33 league campaign. Cribbs would go on to net 11 goals for the season.
* Jimmy Collins, in the first three of the abandoned 1939/40 campaign. As these were the only three games played that year before the start of World War II called a halt to proceedings, you could argue that Collins doesn't belong on this list and that only four have turned the trick.
* Graham Moore, in the first three of the 1959/60 season. Moore would wind up with 13 for the year.
* Nathan Blake, in the first three of the 1993/94 season. He'd finish with 14.
In netting six goals so far, Michael Chopra matches the club record for most goals in the first three league games. In 1928/29, Hugh Ferguson scored six in the first three. Five of them came in the second game of the season, a 7-0 rout of Burnley in the home opener. Only a handful of other Bluebirds have netted as many as four in the first three league games.
* Jimmy Collins had four in the first three games of the 1937/38 season, including a hat trick in the second game. Collins would finish with 23 goals.
* Jimmy Collins had four in the first three of the 1939/40 abandoned campaign as well.
* Wilf Grant had four in the 1951/52 season's first three. Grant would wind up with an impressive 26 goals in league play.
* Nathan Blake had four in the first three in 1993/94.
In short, Michael Chopra is the first City player in club history to score six times in the first three league games while netting at least one in each of the three.
