Ebosele over 5 yards was unbelievable. Tommy Johnson over longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Theo Robinson was rapid. Couldn't trap a bag of cement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vonwright Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Nathan Tyson always looked incredibly fast for Forest, but somehow not quite as quick for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slight tangent I know but interesting to note that despite that incredible pace Ebosele never gets off the bench for a very limited Ireland team. What a waste....

What a waste.... 6 league starts this season for Udinese, coming off the bench in the other 2. Stephen Kenny is on borrowed time. I can't see him being in a job for much longer.

richinspain Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 King Kev was very quick, but although I was young and my memory isn't what it used to be, I'm sure that Saunders was even quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Paul Emson and Fikayo Tomori for me. Honorable mentions on the speedster front for Tommy Johnson, Dean Saunders, Colin Todd, Phil Gee and Theo Robinson. IslandExile 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CornwallRam Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Before his injuries, Craig Forsyth was actually very quick when going flat out. The problem is that even then, his acceleration was quite slow, so there weren't many in game opportunities for him to use his pace. I have seen a couple of times, where he had 20 yards to get moving, he left some pretty quick players for dead. He never looked like he was going that quick, but his strides were about 50% longer than most other players, so he moved faster with the same leg speed.

Dean (hick) Saunders Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 In my time. 1) Dean Sturridge 2) Theo Robinson 3) Lee Morris 4) Dean Saunders. Honerable mention for Wanchope when he wanted to be quick he could be, but it was not usually in a foot race kind of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the same time we had a full back who was no slouch Tony Conwell! Hector was quick but he cheated, he didn't run he glided over the turf, smooth as silk when he set off!

Wolfie20 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 John Chiedozie - though we never saw much of it with us. Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Speed or acceleration? Tomori was rapid over short distances. As was Theo Robinson. Maybe a surprise choice but Andre Wisdom showed impressive speed when in full flight. Either that or this Barnsley team were stuck in mud.
