which comprises of six high-definition cameras.

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.
