Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: swindonshawn on Friday, October 27, 2006, 07:51:59 Cast your mind back....Does anyone remember?
Nicky Summerbee appeared on TV (probably record breakers) in an attempt to set (or break) the record for the hardest shot in football. Was he at Swindon when he went on the telly? Did he break or set the record for the hardest recorded shot? If he did, does he still hold the record? Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: mastapeaka on Friday, October 27, 2006, 08:24:38 I remember him breaking the record and he was at town but I'm not sure if he still holds it. Wasn't the recorded speed 96mph?

It was record breakers, I atched it, and he actually broke the record wearing his swindon kit :mrgreen:Nicky Summerbee appeared on TV (probably record breakers) in an attempt to set (or break) the record for the hardest shot in football.

"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." Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: Give us an S on Friday, October 27, 2006, 10:00:45 Yes i remember watching Buzzer beat the record and Burrows not doing so well. I also remember John Fashanu who presented it i think at the time having a go and getting a lame 67 mph or something like that.

Fash never did record breakers, I'm alomst certain the record must have gone. At the tiem I think they'd been to every club and it emerged that Buzzer and Burrows were the best two. These days with the modern balls etc they fly even quicker. Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: Sharky on Friday, October 27, 2006, 10:19:58 Rooney would win it if he had a go....
Dog by nature but made like a machine. Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: Give us an S on Friday, October 27, 2006, 10:43:52 Fash definately had a go because he was wearing a Wimbledon kit. I know im not wrong.
Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: Northern Red on Sunday, October 29, 2006, 10:17:35 Leyton Baines would be a candidate now....
Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: SwindonStevo on Sunday, October 29, 2006, 13:39:47 john arnie risse has to be a candidate, especially as he broke smiths leg with one.
Title: Nicky Summerbee Nostalgia Post by: mastapeaka on Sunday, October 29, 2006, 18:23:26 I reckon Roberto Carlos would be in with a good shout. Thats assuming his effort was more accurate than his free kicks, he might miss the power recording device.
