Fred, Boa or Les? In a race

[Sir Alec of good Stock]

I'm assuming were talking about Fred Callaghan....fastest bloke I ever saw over a yard

Exactly what I was going to say. He didn't need pace as anyone who tried to go past him ended up in the advertising hoardings. A proper 60s and 70s defender!

Fred for me. Especially after learning he was a district champion in 100m and triple jump and was once even offered an athletics scholarship.  Luckily for us he chose footy.

Not mentioned Saha, Thierry Henry couldnt beat him over a 100 metres at Clairefontain

Would never had said he was faster than Boa though that's why I left him out. A more powerful runner, explosive. But imo certainly not faster than Boa.

Always felt Boa was quicker than most in the pram anyway. Henry was quick but I think it was the way he used his speed to his advantage that made him look even quicker.
