With nine goals, who scored the most goals in a single European Championship tournament?

Michel Platini

 

... a midfielder! France's forwards in 1984, such as Rocheteau, Bellone and Stopyra, were decent but unexceptional. It wasn't until later in the 80s that Jean-Pierre Papin broke through: JPP is the most spectacular and confident goal scorer I've ever seen. He lit up that Olympique Marseille team.

In terms of distance, probably the shortest hat trick of all time....about 6 yards in total!  Think Fergie was still in charge at the time.
