Quintonside not too far off in his assessment of our speed merchants. I can remember Hoskins out running many a full back; the last game being Gillingham away a few weeks ago! Stanley M was not overall quick but his secret was a 25/50yd sprint! Tommy Robson was quick but Bowen often said in the wrong direction. Harry Walden/Barry Lines were not particularly quick either. I believe it’s the first 30yds which count. Bayo when he pumped up sufficient steam was a fearsome sight with players mostly getting out the way. Overall speed not essential a football brain is.
If you scroll back you'll find It was Quintonside who wasn't impressed by Hoskins speed, not me!
