Former Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday, Real Madrid and Juventus players feature in this list of the top five most powerful strikers of the football.
On Tuesday night Zlatan Ibrahimovic again showed why he is one of the best players on this planet.
The Swede is on a great run of form at the moment and is scoring superb goals. Ibra scored four goals as PSG beat Anderlecht 5-0. His third goal rocketed into the top corner and was recorded at 93mph.
Others have hit shots faster than that though. Below are five shots which are believed to be the fastest ever. Obviously it is a hard thing to record and measurements were not taken in the early days of the game.
4. David Trezeguet – AS Monaco – 1998
96 mph
3. David Beckham – Manchester United – 1997
97.9 mph
Goldenballs himself features on this list. I hope it brightens up his week after snippets from Fergie’s book made him out to be someone after stardom rather than a successful Football career. Unfortunately there seems to be no video evidence of this strike. But the record books state that an effort against Chelsea on 27th February 1997 reached 97.9 mph.
2. David Hirst – Sheffield Wednesday – 1996
114 mph
Ronny Heberson -Sporting Lisbon – 2006
131mph
