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
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.
Phil Stant looked fast in slow motion
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!
Aspinall was so fat when he played for us, that no matter where you were on the pitch, you were standing next to him.
Dave Armstrong was a bit pacey.
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..
He was the first player I thought of. Signed from Millwall, very fast, alas, no end product.
Craig Noone could shift.
You know what: I bet NOBODY was going to say Franco Massimo.
