It wasn't Marians Pahars? I thought he looked lethal when he joined Southampton initially, but he never became anything too special.

Had to google a lot but finally found him -Maris Verpakovskis.

Saw him at Euro 2004, one of the fastest players I’ve seen!
 
Bale. Maicon was fast but he made Maicon looked slow
Shevchenko during his AC milan days looked like a winger at the time than a striker
Roberto Carlos was also lightning quick
Honorable mention for peak Valencia
 
Some clips of Henry just putting on the turbo are crazy. He was so fast.

Robben his sprint against Spain in the 5-1 also makes him look extremely fast.

Walker his runs look (and are) very impressive. His combination of strenght and speed make it look so easy when he stops a counter. He makes quick attackers look slow. Rashford had no chance against him for example.
 
Wasn't David Odonkor a sprinter basically? Although I dont remember him as one of the fastest footballers I've seen
 
Walcott is the fastest I’ve seen, in his early years.

Walker

Mbappe - I think he’s quicker than Henry or Bale
 
On tv it’s hard to compare as you’re dealing with different zooms, and you tend to compare too much relative to the defenders.

Therefore I’ll stick to the fastest I’ve seen in real life:

Arjen Robben

This was in 2008 during the euros, would have loved to see his sprint in 2014 in real life vs Spain, I’m sure it would be a joy to see.
