7. Wayne Rooney (England) – 31.2 km/hr
Wayne Rooney is another example for the famous saying “Looks can be deceiving”. The Manchester United captain is unbelievingly quick for his stocky physique. He, along with the pace, can endure physical battles without it concerning the speed of his run- an erratic trait among players.
The English player joined Manchester United in 2004 after impressive performances for Everton. He has played most of his career as a striker, but also has been used in various midfield positions. Rooney has made over 600 appearances for both country and clubs. He has won all domestic competitions in England, and also a UEFA Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup.
