“Individual speed is a serviceable advantage,” Real Madrid icon Ferenc Puskas once noted. “But to run madly and without purpose is of no value.”
The Hungarian icon barely broke out of a trot during his illustrious playing days more than half a century ago, and still managed to establish himself as one of the best to have ever kicked a ball. This season’s Premier League speedsters certainly vary in quality, ranging from Europe’s most prolific striker to a 29-year-old playing his first season of top-flight football.
