MartinOwlMan Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 John Pearson was very slow. Fastest... JJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Was JJ actually that quick or did his time from 2007-2014 just coincide with some of surely the slowest Wednesday sides of all time so he seemed extra quick? Half the slow players mentioned in this thread were from this era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been honourable mentions for Branston, Horne and Sedgewick but the slowest has to be... ...Ronnie Wallwork. Turned slower than milk and outran by a morbidly obese tortoise. He was Pinteresque (for you culture vultures.) Yep first bloke that sprang to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSandersonOWL Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Brian Usher was a very fast runner. But fell over the ball or left it behind. Played 65 times in the league1965 - 68. Descended to Doncaster Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Monkey Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Dalian Atkinson could shift when he got in full flow. Warhurst was rapid and you’ll never beat Des Walker. slowest I’d give to Steve Nicol, what he lacked in pace though was made up by his positional play and ability to read the danger before the opposition knew what they were going to do themselves. Shame we got him 5-10 years too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hykehamowl Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Peter Gilbert the slowest. Franz Carr the fastest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolihullOwl79 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Waddle had the fastest feet and train of thought but his pace was lacking. Carlton Palmer could always shift over a fair distance (box to box). Hirst was quicker with the ball than others without it in his prime! Des Walker obviously fast Paul Warhurst again could shift JJ was like a firework rocket Michael Antonio was pretty quick Other than that in the post 90s era we've not had many quick players, which perhaps has been a big reason for our struggles over the years playing a slow pace.

fudge27 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Slowest is a shootout between Dean Smith and Trond Soltvedt. Both painfully slow. Fastest I'd say Antonio, Harris or Helan we all rapid over 5-10 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorian gray Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 when you look at the number of names genuinely mentioning slow players, we must have been running an advert for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Theboylangers Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Concrete boots Magilton for the slow category. Fastest, probably Des closely followed by Warhurst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
