We have tracking systems installed in every single Premier League ground.
which comprises of six high-definition cameras.
So every second that goes by, every single player on that field has been sampled 25 times.
And that gives a range of outputs, the location of the player, the speed of the player, and the statistics that can be derived from an optical tracking system are very, very rich.
No, I don't think he is.
I mean, when I first read the story, I was quite surprised.
I mean, I know when Usain Bolt broke the world record, he hit a top speed of 44.72 kilometres per hour.
We've been collecting data on football players in the Premier League for the last three years, and I've never seen a player go above sort of 36 kilometres per hour as a top level speed.
So, I mean, I would say it's very, very unlikely that a Premier League player has ever got near to the sort of top speeds of a Usain Bolt.
Set.
Jamie Vardy, one of the Leicester players, was clocked at 35.44 kilometres, which was one of the top speeds.
I mean, I think everyone's perception is that Theo Walcott is probably the fastest in the Premier League.
