Top 5 quickest players we've had here? I was a bit too young to see Franz Carr.

For me I'd have

Spence
Elanga
Brennan
Tyson

Then it's a toss up between Marlon Harewood who was rapid in full flight, Darcheville who was a pure sprinter and perhaps Huckerby

Who was the yank that was as fast as f*** but looked like he’d never seen a football before - Robbie Finlay?

There's also paul anderson , mikhail antonio & oliver burke
 
Elanga was the fastest by far because he can get to full speed absurdly quickly. The likes of Spence & Johnson are rapid full flight, but with Elanga he caught so many off guard in that first 10 yards.

I don’t think there is a player around as athletic as Elanga, you see those clips of him doing footwork in the gym & it’s like it’s sped up.

That reminds me that about 30 years ago I was watching a season review video with Franz Carr bombing down the wing and my wife came in and said “That bit’s been speeded up, hasn’t it?”
