Title: Nicky Summerbee
Post by: Marie on Friday, July 29, 2005, 21:41:16
Dad spoke to him today, hes teamless, out in dubai searching for a club. Motherwell could be interested but cant guarentee anything. Last i saw of him he had a good cross on him and a very good shot. Surely if hes extremely stuck for a club he wont be asking tonnes?

Not really a position we need filling though.  Would be a waste of money, but yes he was a very good player in the early 90s for us.

Welcome back.

Played well up until a fall out with Todd last season but can't see him being cheap and a bit of a luxury.

They pay well out there although it's the nail in the coffin career wise not many ever make it back.

Elephants graveyard.

Don't hink we need him. I'd rather we spent the money on a position we require.

He had officially the hardest shot of anyone ever, 220MPH he was on record breakers and everything.

220MPH?

The world record was about 100mph last I heard. Seems even more unrealistic when you see half of Scholesy's shots measured between 70mph and 80mph

Not really 200mph but he does have the record.

Quote
"I recall a Shoot! article many moons ago that preposterously suggested Wrexham deadshot Chris Armstrong was the fastest man in football, recording 10.5 seconds for the 100 metres. Can this possibly be true?" enquires Andrew Bond. "Even more ridiculously, I remember it also said that Nicky Summerbee had the hardest shot in football. My deluded chum thinks Summerbee proved this by beating Stuart Pearce in a dawn shoot-out on Record Breakers. Is any of this correct, and if so, are such tests still run anywhere today?"

It's astonishing just how many people were able to (a) dig out their old Shoot! magazines from 1994, or (b) remember the details of the articles in Shoot! magazines from 1994, possibly both. Astonishing, and also a little worrying. Nevertheless, we're very grateful.

But there you are, so we may as well press on. Nicky Summerbee does officially have the hardest shot in football, though his prowess was proved not against Stuart Pearce, but in a dual with Liverpool's David "Budgie" Borrows. As Ed Wilson says, Andrew, your deluded chum is not as deluded as you think. Summerbee claimed the title with a drive of 87mph from standing. Alas poor Budgie could manage only 84mph.
