Was discussing this with a mate today, in the time I have been watching the Albion (since 1987) there are a few contenders.

1) Kazenga Lua Lua
2) Mark Gall
3) Stuart Storer (Rumbelows sprint challenge)
4) Will Buckley
5) Albert Jarrett

Who would you have up there as the sprint king?

We've had a few in the 70's/80's who could do the hundred pub sprint in under 10.2 pints

Gerry Fell.

Unfortunately having made it to the byeline, scattering all asunder, the ball would then fly off into the stands

I think Tony Towner was pretty nippy but an older player who has more of a speed reputation was Frankie Howard, who became the groundsman at the GG.

I always thought Jimmy Case was the fastest whenever the opposition saw him coming towards.
I think that their time stood still, never being able to get away from his thunderous tackles

Franco Massimo. Played about 10 minutes in the 80's - was a 100m sprint champion, but not much of a footballer sadly.

That's an impressive memory. He was on loan from Arsenal wasn't he? At the same time we had a 17 year old Paul Dickov . . . .

Wayne Gray was pretty quick and he had to choose between being a sprinter and a footballer if my memory is correct

Yep Flatts was on loan from Arsenal in c1993. Cant recall if he overlapped with Dickov or if Dickov was just after.
