You do know that the three wheeled van as seen in only fools was a Reliant 'supervan'. Just saying.
I knew somebody who had one for a while you could drive them on a full motorbike licence.
Just a posh tik tok.
Tik toks are the greatest vehicles ever made.

Doesn't have to be rapid, just not slow. Good at defending one v one in wide areas. Used to a high line. Good on the ball.
I still don't know who that player is mind you.

Chris Perry
There’s something about sheer pace like that that’s soo exhilarating, like when Bale used to blast past people.

You can't teach pace!
There's something about his black boots as well. I think they make him look slower, which just adds to the deception.

Just looks like he goes up a gear to make sure he gets ahead and still has some in reserve!

What was that old saying about cliff Jones and opening the gates, if this guy ever needs to get upto full speed it will be awesome to see.

She may coached wells but it is a stretch to say he won gold because of it, he won gold because the Americans boycotted those games.

Well, yeah, you are almost certainly right but that does not invalidate the assertion that speed can be improved through coaching. I have a vague memory of Linford "Lunchbox" Christie doing some speed coaching at a London club but I may just be imagining it.

Darren Campbell (former GB sprinter) was doing sprint training with some club at one point I recall

Of course anyone can improve their running speed with the right coaching, but in the case of footballers it will only be a slight improvement, but that can make all the difference in some circumstances. Runners just have to run, footballers have much more to do.

Fair point, and I agree that anyone can get quicker with the right coaching (especially if they've never had proper sprint training) but, if you're not a speedster by 18, I don't think you can become truly fast. Not to a level that would stand out against top level footballers, anyway.

A while back a tv show (not sure if it was spanish or portugese). Got ronaldo and a sprinter to race. The sprinter beat ronaldo but not by much. Then they did a zig zag race around flags. Ronaldo was way ahead.

Not saying she didn't improve him, just that that improvement isn't why he won Olympic gold.

I wonder if anyone below the age of 30 knows who he is?
Seriously though, even if I was 18 again, I'm pretty sure no amount of training and diet would get me close to even an un-doped Ben Johnson. And I was always reasonably quick over 20 metres -- much less lardy than my online moniker might suggest!
