Fastest Player in the Eircom League?

**Rams-07** · 25/07/2007, 7:52 AM

Kieran o Reilly at Cobh Ramblers...scored 17 goals 2 seasons ago before a serious hip injury...nearly back to full fitness now (thank god)..what blistering pace he had,,no defender could catch him..

At Galway Utd Derek Glynn is probably the quickest over 20 yards but if it was 100 yards I would say that Derek O Brien might win it

just to echo whats been said about Ger McCarthy... I can't think of a faster player at Pats (nicknamed Istabraq for his speed and rubbish footballing skills)

Currently I'd say Stephen Quigley is the quickest player at the club. Unlikely anyone's quicker in the league tbh but of the high profile players O'Donovan seems very quick

**Celdrog** · 25/07/2007, 10:06 AM

I would have picked O'Donovan myself but he's very slow as finalising his transfer

Quickest Drogs player I would have thought was Shane Robinson. He's quicker than Zayed, Cahill, Fabio or Baker although Brian Shelley would come close to him

I'd have said Chrissy Breen before he went off to Australia. Fastest at finn park would be Marc Brolly or Conor Gethins id say.

Our new right winger, Fitzgerald is very fast. I haven't seen a defender keep up with him yet. Pat Kavanagh at Bray is quick too.

Glen Lacey

Kearney isnt fast at all....his legs move quickly but theyre so small they dont take him far.

Roy O Donovan is incredibly fast...its hilarious when he's doing his big girly run and sometimes he's moving so quickly he falls over his own feet.

Didnt notice Glynn being that quick against us but obviously you'd have to see them regularly.

Always thought Farren looked very quick too

here see him at 17 seconds and here from the start

O'donnovan is extremely fast. Cant believe no one has mentioned drogs shane barrett though!I dont think i've ever seen a faster person.

Barrett need 4/5 strides to hit top stride.

Roy O'Donovan is very quick over the first 10 yards.

its in his second goal you really see his speed, he skins paisley with ease

And what did he do with it?

He put a hotel on it, then pocketed a small fortune when a giant boot came to stay

**Paddyfield** · 25/07/2007, 3:46 PM

The fastest player I ever saw was Johnny Kenny

**NeilMcD** · 25/07/2007, 4:31 PM

We dont have anybody fast, maybe Conor Powell is our fastest.

you'd need to really see the 2 goals against longford as a prime example as both were ran frm half way line!.... these ones against Harps are a better example though then the pats game
