Former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott said in an interview that his 100-meter speed reached 10.6 seconds when he was 15 years old.
How long did you run in 100 meters?
"I ran 10.6 seconds when I was 15, but my running form was terrible."
Wenger talked about Walcott's speed in 2015
Is Walcott the fastest at Arsenal?
Wenger: "I believe Walcott is our fastest player, I completely agree that sprinters are faster than football players, but it is a different run". How are
different?
Wenger: "You know, football players run on the grass wearing football boots. It's a different type of running, not just pure speed." In football, speed starts in the brain, of course, and then you put what you analyze on the field into action, but if it's pure speed, I'm sure those professional sprinters are faster than football players."
