[Albion] Who is/was Albions fastest player

[BensGrandad]

Who was our fastest player I think Tawse, or possibly Izquierdo but some may say Franco Massimo who although being a Sussex sprint champion wasnt a regular first teamer..

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Gerry Fell for sure.

Shame he couldn't actually play football.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Kemy.

As soon as it was payday or KFC was open.......

 

[sams dad]

Dave Armstrong was a bit pacey.

 

[Bish Bosh]

Another who was a sprinter to the exclusion of everything else was Dave Armstrong. Speedy winger who I can't recall crossing a ball!

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Kurt Nogan was like a whippet on speed.....

 

[Simontheseagull]

Phil Stant looked fast in slow motion

 

[Gwylan]

Another who was a sprinter to the exclusion of everything else was Dave Armstrong. Speedy winger who I can't recall crossing a ball!

Yeah, this came up a few months ago. Armstrong was the fastest I recall....totally useless as a footballer but really, really pacy.

Reckon Izquierdo is faster though

 

[AmexRuislip]

Or KLL with Nandos!

 

[Stat Brother]

Kanchelskis.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

José quite possibly.

In terms of actually USING their pace, to any useful end, the best in my 30+ years was Will Buckley (before he lost faith in his paper hamstrings). Devastating

 

[thedeadone]

Sergi Gotsmanov or Mark Gall ?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Always thought Neil Smillie and Eric Potts were quite nippy back in the day

 

[Surrey Phil]

Mark Gall without a shadow of a doubt!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Dunks run back from a corner up the other end at Arsenal with five of there players breaking showed he has some speed ...ye i know its not what you are asking...but ya know it was fast and as good as the whole length of the pitch

 

[LowKarate]

Peter...








...Smith.

Very fast without the ball.

 

[lichfield seagulls]

Mark Flatts?

 

[GT49er]

Alan Duffy always looked very fast - but that might have been because he was quite a well-built lad, and at top speed it looked as if he might have had a great deal of difficulty stopping quickly!

 

[Weststander]

Sidwell, Obika, Paul Clark, Aspinall. All lightning quick.

A special award to CMS. Exceptiional at shuttle sprinting between opposition back fours. Turned it into an art form.

 

[raymondo]

Yep, from memory, Armstrong would just chip the ball over the fullback and run like hell to retrieve it first. Pretty good until the opposition realised this was his only ploy.
