Who do you rate as the quickest and slowest Albion players that you have seen?

[Barnet Seagull]

YouTube - Stuart Storer last goal at Goldstone

Pretty quick in a straight line as I remember.

 

[Skint Gull]

Slowest has to be Watson surely?

 

[Gwylan]

Dave Armstrong was quick but rarely managed to retain control of the ball whilst running.

Has to be him. I've never seen any of our players move so fast. But as Alex points out, completely useless with the ball.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Hart used to be very quick and Brooker was quite pacy too.

 

[Level 42]

Dean Wilkins wasn't very fast.

 

[Woodingdean Gull]

Without any shadow of a doubt, Frankie Howard who played left wing in the fifties, was the fastest played ever to play for the Albion. He would push the ball 30 yards past the full back and leave him for dead. Anyone who saw him play would, I'm sure, agree with me. He went on to become the groundsman at the Goldstone and became another statistic when he was shafted by Archer who sacked him.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He was also excellent in "Up Pompeii".

Steve Claridge deserves a mention for his lack of speed.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Tony Towner was pretty quick as was Sully.

Codner was the slowest and quickest - at the same time!

I wqas just thinking those two...

whereas Eric Young was a bit slow and Nobby wasnt that fast.

 

[chez]

Quickest would have to be either Stuart Storer or Paul Brooker

 

[lizard]

Dirk Lehman had the quickest moving legs but never seemed to get anywhere so gets my voted as quickest AND slowest

Yeah, the problem was they didn't both move in the same direction, it was like he had no control over them!

 

[Scotty Mac]

YouTube - Stuart Storer last goal at Goldstone

Pretty quick in a straight line as I remember.

didnt he win some sort of speed trial thing that proved he was the fastest player in the league before he joined us?

then he got rid of the moustache, and it was all downhill

 

[Paxton Dazo]

Robbie Pethick Was Lightning Quick

 

[RM-Taylor]

Seba Carole was speedy Gonzalez

 

[Jam The Man]

Dirk Lehmann was rather sluggish

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i think alistair john was the quickest i've seen.........shame he was SHITHOUSE

 

[tip top]

Steve Penney was fairly rapid

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Quickest - Dean Saunders
Slowest - Mick Ferguson

 

[wilf tranter]

The slowest player I ever saw was my old mate from the mid-sixties -- Derek Leck.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Tony Towner was pretty quick as was Sully.

Codner was the slowest and quickest - at the same time!

hehe

 

[BensGrandad]

I would say the quickest I have seen was Dean Saunders and the slowest possibly Ian Chapman even as a youngster but more so as he got fatter. Wardy was very quick over a short distance, about 10 yds, like Gary Lineker
