Who is the fastest player to have played for Everton?

[Toast]

Stuart Barlow was quick.

 

[McMagicT]

In the 60s it was said that Ray Wilson was timed fastest footballer over 100 Metres.

My Dad always said that he was in Warsaw when the first shot of WW2 was shot'
and in Walsall when the second was .

Ashley Williams ............on his way to the breakfast counter in the canteen

Ratcliffe was fast, as was the boy Line acre (as Mick Channon used to call him) . Wonder how Gofrey would compare.

 

[superkeeper]

Of the players that I've seen live that are on the list, Godfrey's my pick, but out of all the players I've watched (since circa 2006), I'm struggling to recall anyone that would be quicker

 

[StreetEndBlue]

It's got to be either Kevin Ratcliffe or Gary Lineker during my time as a fan. I said years ago I'd love to have seen them have a 50 metre sprint against each other when they were team mates here. Lineker absolutely skinned Alan Hansen for his goal in the FA Cup final and Hansen was no slouch himself, and had a head start on him.

Andrei Kanchelskis would certainly run either them close though. Stuart Barlow was certainly rapid and Ben Godfrey is too.

Andy Johnson was pretty quick wasn’t he?

 

[johntmorgan67]

Kanchelskis In his prime V Godfrey would be a good race

 

[Saint Domingo]

No option for Royston Drenthe?

 

[Carlito]

Donovan and Yobo would be up there, I reckon.

 

[evertondotcom]

James Vaughan was absolutely rapid.

Distin, Lescott, Lukaku, AJ, Geri, DCL, Donovan all had great pace.

Gylfi Ziggy

 

[BrendanGOT]

Was Jagielka at one stage

 

[Blackwell Livermore]

Andy Johnson was pretty quick wasn’t he?

Quick to the corner flag he was.

 

[PhoenixFirebird]

Was Jagielka at one stage

I seem to recall a survey done a few years back, which said Jagielka was the fastest Everton (PL?) player. He clocked in excess of 32 KMPH I believe. Will try to scrounge up the link if I can find it.

Though, Godfrey does seem to be gifted with pace.

Edit: This is what I found in an old article

"The defender hit a top speed of 35.99 kilometres per hour - or 22.36 miles per hour - against Leicester on the opening day of the season (2014-15)."
