Kevin Mabbutt (born 5 December 1958) is an English retired footballer who played for Bristol City and Crystal Palace in the Football League.[1]

He played over 100 league games for Bristol City,[1] before joining Crystal Palace in October 1981 in exchange for Terry Boyle.[2] He was their top scorer that season, with eight goals, and helped them avoid a second successive relegation.[3]

He came to national attention on 21 October 1978 when he scored 3 goals for Bristol City in a 3–1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford. He remains one of only a handful of opposing players to have scored a hat-trick at the home of Manchester United.[4]

His father is Ray Mabbutt and his brother is Gary Mabbutt.

As of 2005 he owns a restaurant in Los Angeles.[5]
