The quickest players in the world

[Darkon]

According to the german magazine "Der Spiegel" the 5 below are the quickest in today's football after testing players at the biggest clubs in europe.

This is sprinting btw. and not with the ball which might have changed the result a bit. Also there might be quicker player at other clubs not tested.

1: Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid (33,6 km/p.h.)
2. Arjen Robben, Bayern München (32,9 km/p.h.)
3. The Walcott, Arsenal (32,7 km/p.h.)
4. Wayne Rooney, Manchester United (32,6 km/p.h.)
5. Robin van Persie, Arsenal (32,1 km/p.h.)

Surprised Messi is not there, anyone else missing?

[wiw]

No Babel?! Rigobert Song?!

Not surprised Ronaldo is top, he's a proper athlete. RvP is a bit of a shock

[Darkon]

I was actually most surprised that Rooney is on that list, never struck me as being that quick. Not that he is slow, but in the top-5 is a surprise to me!

Rooney, what the ****? van Persie? This is total bollocks.

Van Persie definitely isn't that fast and neither is Shrek.

Haha Robin Van Persie faster than Cisse or Aaron Lennon? Yeah right!

Ahem, "biggest clubs in Europe".

They probably only did the top 3 in each country hence Rooney and RVP.

Don't get the Rooney bashing...watching the Villa game on Saturday, when he was tackling back into his own half he was easily out pacing the Villa players, and some of them are definitely no slouches. I think the term the commentators used was "deceptively quick" cos he's a big lad.

I'm shocked Giggs isn't top of the list.

[saj]

Cisse?
Bellamy?
Babel (who is meant to be the fastest at LFC)?
