I’d say Hackett, Manny and Yemi have got to be up there.
Chrissy Allen was no slouch either!
More recently Brandon Barker was lightening quick but didn’t have the end product!
I also believe it was Fin Stevens who recently listed GOD as the quickest in the squad which did surprise me.

Colin Harrington (one for the maturer supporters ) was a county standard sprinter wasn’t he?

Probably too fast,sometimes the ball couldn't keep up with him.

Another one for the oldies - Jason Seacole was very quick! Played him in some school and club games, so saw it at close quarters.

You were just really slow.

Steve Gilbert said:

Agree with that one.
I may be wrong but wasn’t Potter rapid as well?
Baldock was very quick too.

Edit: George Baldock not Sam

Big Ron said:

Oh I absolutely was but he was greased lightning! I think he was the youngest Oxford debutant for years, probably until we kept giving debuts to various players in the Trophy who never actually progressed to the first team. I think he played over 120 games before injury hit.

Potter was pretty quick but the real pace-men in the past 20 years or so have to be Josh Murphy, Marcus Browne, Marvin Johnson and Eric Sabin.

In full flow Johnson and Sabin were rapid but Murphy looks lightening quick.

What impresses me about Murphy isn't just his lightning pace, but the way he can keep the ball under such close control even when travelling at pace. Rare indeed to find a winger who combines express pace and immaculate close control.

I don't remember Paul Simpson being that quick.
More one of those wide men who could put in a fantastic cross just in the right area.
