No votes for my ultimate slowest hero - but you've got to have been a fan for many years to remember the amazing ALAN DUFFY

No, no, no no! Wash your mouth out!
Our Reggie certainly wasn't the slowest. If he was ever slow it was because of the opposition players being barged out of the way.

That was my first thought, for a full back he had the top speed of a broken down tugboat.

Can I nominate player who looked really quick ( legs pumping like the clappers) but in reality was as quick as an asthmatic ant lugging a particularly heavy bag of shopping.........................Junior McDougald and sadly he only just pips CMS for the accolade.

Kerry Mayo.
When we played Leeds away in that much where yelldell wore a pink jersey for the first half there was a moment that still ranks highly in my best moments at football. I was sat with the Leeds fans and in the corner near me was a foot race between our own guy butters and leeds' Brian Deane. Everyone started laughing at such a sight. "Run then" was a common shout. Butters got lots of grief so it was fun when he popped up for a late equaliser.

I was just going through this thread for the first time and was surprised it took until the 31st post to find his name mentioned.

I remember vividly a game against Southend at Withdean when they were defending a corner and the ball came out past Carruthers (who wasn't particularly quick) who was 25 yards from Oatway who was the last man back - Charlie looked like he was running through treacle as Carruthers went past him and scored.

That was going to be my suggestion. Way slower than Marcos Painter.

We did indeed beat Carlisle 4-1 at home that season, Cowfold, but your memory deceives you - it was fully three months before the Wolves game, on February 5th! The passing of time plays tricks on all of us, damn it...
