8. Franck Ribery (France) – 30.7 km/hr
The French international is another representative of fast football. Not only his runs are quick, his movements are equally speedy as well. He has been a nuisance for defenders, with him cutting into the box with fanciful speed.
The best effort came from him in 2006 World Cup final when Ribery sprinted on the counter attack, leaving behind Materazzi dumbfounded.
Since he made his debut in 2000 for Boulogne in 2000, he has played in six different clubs in the span of as many years. In 2007, he joined Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and since been the part and parcel of Bavarians, making over 300 appearances.
He has also been capped for France 81 times, featuring in 3 world cups.
