I would have to check but I'm sure that Bolt isn't actually that fast a starter as far as sprinters go, the thing is he picks up pace over 100m at a ferocious rate, however he's not going to get that sort of space or distance to do so in a game so I'm not sure he has a huge upper hand over others.

I’m sure I read somewhere that Gareth Bale was clocked running faster than Usain Bolt did at any point of his record breaking 100m sprint when he scored that goal against Barcelona where he ran through the technical area. Did I imagine this or is it true?

Bale the speediest of footballers, but Bolt could hit just shy of 45kph

Seems like a nonsense, click baity list to me.
Pace is important but meaningless without technical ability.

Dennis Rommedahl (I’ve likely spelt that wrong) who I think played for Charlton around a decade ago was the fastest player I’ve ever seen. It was almost comical at times as he looked to be running in fast forward compared to the full back tasked with kicking him. I’m sure there were claims of him covering 100 metres in a little over 10 seconds.

Slightly off topic, but Hibs ourselves, had at one time a player on the books who was later on, the fastest man in the world.
George McNeill, a left winger, turned a professional sprinter after leaving Hibs, and earned the title, but back then the Olympics was amateurs only...other than the Eastern European states, who sponsored their athletes.
If I recall correctly he may only have played in one first team game for us, but was on the scene for a couple of years I think.
What I remember of George, while he did not show enough to crack a regular first team spot...he would be like Pele compared to what I have seen of Usain Bolt.

It is rumoured that Central Coast Mariners HAVE offered Usain Bolt a contract to play in the A League, and an announcement will be made soon
Commercial considerations are important, but the old ‘sporting integrity’ ethos will take a bit of a hit if he DOES play in the A League.
If he IS offered a contract, it certainly won’t be because of his footballing ability.
