Ever wondered who is the Fastest player in the top tier, well wonder no more!
Theo Walcott is the Premier League’s answer to sprint superstar Usain Bolt.
Manchester United fan Bolt hit a top speed of 24.04mph as he won two golds at the World Championships in Berlin.Arsenal‘s Walcott clocked 22.72mph and Sol Campbell took a shock second place in the top-flight race with a 22.50mph top speed.
The top speeds have been calculated by Castrol using data captured over two seasons.
Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres would be in a photo finish for third with their joint top speed of 22.27mph.
Football’s fliers hit incredible speeds and Walcott’s bursts mean he would run 9.9secs for 100m – if he could sustain his top speed of 10.1m per second.
WALCOTT 22.72 mph
CAMPBELL 22.50 mph
DROGBA 22.27 mph
TORRES 22.27 mph
ANELKA 22.05 mph
FABREGAS 22.05 mph
A COLE 22.05 mph
CLICHY 21.82 mph
ROONEY 21.82 mph
GERRARD 21.60 mph (The Sun)
Well I think some of us may have guessed Theo would be top of the pile but slightly surprised by the aging legs of Sol Campbell making it so high up the list. Now I hope they will release a list of the slowest movers in the league, however that could be a tough one to measure. Also a little surprised to see neither of the speedy Aston Villa pair Gabriel Agbonlahor or Ashley Young on the list.

This was not written based on fact, Aaron lennon, gabby young, and phillips are faster than all those players and would turn sol cambell inside out in a sprint. utter rubbish, I think writers should not make things up before publishing them.

over 100m id say bale n walcott wud b close bcus bale is a very strong runner and although he cannot accelerate as quickly as walcott his top speed wud not be far off. samir nazri would also be up there aswel as abonglahor and cameron jerome .
lennon has lighning acceleration but his not as quick as people think iv never seen him sprint for more than 10m
