Fastest Footballer in English Football

[leww_rfc]

Well.. I don't actually know, anyone?
Would love it too be Kebe, stick him CB sunday and he'll control Gabby Agbonlahor

[Barry the bird boggler]

So, how will anyone know without some sort of running competition? Still it's obviously Kebe though.

[papereyes]

Surely they can speedgun a player during a match?

or, before the league cup final, hold a series of 100 m sprints

[TBM]

After seeing what Walcott did against Sunderland the other week, giving the full back a 10 yard headstart and still beating him - i reckon he'll be up there!

[papereyes]

My hunches would be Agbonlahor or Walcott

Milner was a very good cross country runner in his youth, but that's a different thing altogether

[ZacNaloen]

Kebe is pretty damned quick but I've never seen anyone in football move like a fit Walcott.


Except maybe Overmars... but I was young then so my memory could be tricking me.

Michael Gilkes

[Focher]

Not being biased ive not seen quicker than Gilkes on a football field. Owen in his heyday was utter lightening.

walcott is the quickest today.

[papereyes]

Gilkes came 3rd, iirc, in that Rumbelows cup running competition.

Gilkes came 3rd, iirc, in that Rumbelows cup running competition.

he did, but when do you ever run 100m flat out on a pitch without a ball?

Gilkes was 5m clear after 50m.

[Dirk Gently]

Probably some unknown kid in the reserves of a Tier 3 or Tier 4 team, who can run like buggery but can't keep the ball under control or cross it accurately more than 20% of the time.

Sounds like most wingers in English football.

Drogba? LOL

[leww_rfc]

Drogba? LOL

Asked a lot of people who was faster and more people said Drogba than Rooney so that's why he's in there.

Oxf*rd need to edit it put Bellamy in instead of him, but how?!

[Geekins]

Ady Williams.

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

John 'The Flying Postman' Williams

[Row Z Royal]

Abdulai Baggie-Bell.

FACT

[Dirk Gently]

Aaron Ramsey on his way to hospital.

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Gilkes came 3rd, iirc, in that Rumbelows cup running competition.

he did, but when do you ever run 100m flat out on a pitch without a ball?

Gilkes was 5m clear after 50m.

and still recovering from Dean Austin breaking his leg
