Br 1st ol Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 A few contenders: Christian Roberts Ralph Milne Trevor Morgan Andy Cole Scott Murray PS The Trevor Morgan bit was a joke by the way! Any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WillsbridgeRed Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Greg Goodridge and Juniour were fast, and Akinbiyi was quick. But I'd go for Junior as our fastest player, followed by greg as the Fatest come the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BTR_FTG Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I'd say it's a toss up between the phenomenally quick, though useless footballer, Junior Bent & the phenomenally quick, though useless footballer, Mark Flatts. BTR FTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Got to be Junior Bent, if i recall, when he made his debut, he was touted as the fastest player in the football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BTR_FTG Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Touted maybe, but when lined up to prove it Junior was left watching John Williams' (Swansea) backside disappearing into the distance...... BTR FTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Barney Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Mark Gavin! I can't remember, was he fast or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Barney Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Boris Beckers VERY fast by all acounts Yeah but he's only quick in the box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Neo Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Junior was certainly one of the quickest players I have ever seen without the ball. Christian Roberts is not far behind when he wants to be; his burst over 10/15 yards is dynamite. In terms of running fast with the ball at his feet, Scott would take some beating.

Beezey Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I can answer this one, Going back a few years now there was a 100 meter sprint challenge organised by someone or other with different players taking part. Louie Donowa won the race and I think Junior came in forth (memorys a bit hazey on this) As they both played for city then I think that makes Donowa the fastest in recent times.

Maltshoveller Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 The quickest player ive seen for city was Dave Smith for you to young to remember he played on the left wing in the late 80s early 90s set up the goals for Taylor + Turner.( well ok Taylor) Jim Brennan also was as quick as F##K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest billybob Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Definitely Dave Smith. Gavin, Smith, Turner & Taylor caused absolute havoc in the old Div3. Smith was regularly twatted by the neanderthal gashead Aleaxander - when he could catch him. Happy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Louie Donawa was the quickest of them all at that was proven on TV some years back.Pity he was so inconsistant. I would say that Akinbiyi was a close second in the speed stakes followed by Junior Bent.Niether of those two could run with the ball under control. Murray and Dave Smith were the quickest with ball at their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedTop Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Wouldn't say Gavin was quick, just skilful. Dave Smith and Junior Bent were the quickest with the ball at their feet, but Smithy was the far superior footballer and went like a steam train - usually heading straight for the corner flag! Ralph Milne was talented but about as pacy as a tortoise in a slo-mo action replay, but could still beat Trevor Morgan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Greg Goodridge and Juniour were fast, and Akinbiyi was quick. But I'd go for Junior as our fastest player, followed by greg as the Fatest come the end There werent many who could keep up with Keith Curle in his prime. He used to tease oposing players by looking at them as they ran together as if to say "is that as fast as you can go mate ". It was funny to watch. Have to agree about Dave Smith though , he was really quick . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Junior Bent. If we could clone him with a bit of Scott Murray & Mark Gavin you'd get the most complete winger City have ever seen Surely you got to have a bit of Walshy in there too? :sport18: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
