The stats don't lie, and there's more where that came from.
Everyone loves a good stat don't they? And often the more surprising the better.
And when it comes to shocking stats then there are rarely any more surprising than those which chart just how quick Premier League players are running.
Each and every year it seems as though that huge, lumbering centre-back you'd written off is actually quicker than that fast, nimble forward that everyone knows is lightning, and the latest batch of numbers for the current season is just the same.
So sit back, don't run anywhere and prepare to be dazzled by these seven facts we've gleaned from the Premier League pace-setters.
1. There are NINE players in the Premier League who are quicker than Arsenal's Hector Bellerin, who is rapid
2. Sunderland's Lynden Gooch is the second fastest player in the division
3. Manchester United's new signing Eric Bailly is the quickest centre-back in the Premier League
4. Kyle Walker is the fastest Englishman in the top flight
5. Sadio Mane, Anthony Martial and Raheem Sterling aren't even in the top 10
6. Southampton's Maya Yoshida is EXACTLY as fast as Theo Walcott
7. Shane Long is 0.12km per hour faster than any other Premier League player
Got all that? Well here's the top 10 for you in a more conventional way, with their top speeds this season in the brackets.
