I doubt this is very accurate but worth a look anyway,

Sweepy seems to be quickest with the ball at his feet?

I think this might have some Bias towards Nike but not sure

Joe Cole number 10? Jeez, I wouldn't of expected that, fair play to the guy though!

The trouble with SWP is whenever he runs with the ball it's usually a foot behind him!! I don't think I have ever seen a professional footballer so regularly go on a run and leave the ball behind!!

Joe Cole to make a fastest with the ball poll

How on earth can you be faster WITH the ball than without it?

Or is the ball to some players like an electric rabbit is to a greyhound...?

I will argue till I am blue in the face on this one.. I didnt see it at first someone pointed out to me.

Joe Cole is decpetivley quick... Watch him closely compared to other players next match, espcially if he gets a run at defenders

I will never forget Guillit either.. someone was writting in the press that he was slow, but he used to cover the pitch it seemed in a few strides. He was amazingly quick but you would never think of him as a quick player

Robben is the quickest player I've seen with the ball for a few years, but I don't suppose it counts if he's in the back of a speeding ambulance.

Joe Cole would be a 'world beater' IF he had any pace.

jesper gronkjaer was incredibly quick with the ball. did sod all with it though.

Run Forest.....run

He's still a better crosser than SWP.

Surely Agbonlahor must be on that list. He must be faster than Joey atleast.

Andrew Johnson is faster with the ball than without.............................how?

With no balls he weigh less

The young Mr Shevchenko, BHLHP*, was the fastest white player I had ever seen. Breathtakingly quick. In comparison, made Robben look like he was running through treacle.

BHLHP - Before He Lost His Pace

and Place..

Overmars was a bit of a speed demon

I would say that Ashley Cole considers himself to be a bit of a 'fast player', however, not that fast it would seem, as it all caught up with him in the end.

The trouble with SWP is whenever he runs with the ball it's usually a foot behind him!!

Funny

Would be even funnier if it wasn't so true!!

Maybe speed is measured by how quickly you can turn around to try to beat the same player three times for no particular reason, when a simple pass might be in order instead...

Not if he remembers trying to deal with Agbonlohor - he was skinned

can somebody do a study on being fast and not being able to cross!? definite link! qwasex?!
