Have you ever wondered what the most powerful, fastest shots recorded in history were? Well, here at Fan Park, we like to bring you interesting things like this, and today you get to find out!
These are the fastest shots ever recorded:
10. Obafemi Martins (135 km/h)
The Nigerian striker is best known for his spell at Newcastle, but also spent some time with Inter Milan. He had a super powerful shot that could put a hole in the net though, and that's probably what his opponents remember him for…
9. Tugay (135.5 km/h)
Tugay spent most of his career at Galatasary, before moving to Blackburn Rovers where he lit up the Premier League and scored some amazing goals from long distance.
8. Roberto Carlos (137 km/h)
The Brazilian left-back is probably better remembered for his powerful left foot and long range strikes than he is for his defensive abilities. He actually defied the laws of physics (literally) when he hit a free-kick against France in the 1997 Confederations Cup with the most incredible strike you will ever see.
7. Alan Shearer (138 km/h)
The former Blackburn and Newcastle legend holds a number of Premier League records to this day and is still considered the best English player to have ever graced the Premier League. It's probably because he could strike a ball so well and managed to score so many goals because of this…
6. Matthew Le Tissier (139.5 km/h)
If you weren't fortunate enough to watch Le Tissier while he was playing at Southampton in the 1990s, I suggest you search for some clips on YouTube right now, because this man was a specialist at scoring beautiful goals from range! And one of the biggest reasons that he could pull it off was that he had such a fast, powerful shot.
The guys above sure had some incredible power in their boots. Can you remember some of their most powerful shots? Tell us your memories about them below…
