Think that Nicky Summerbee had the most powerful recorded shot in world for a while in the 90s... Sure a Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink freekick with no run up at all beat it out, when they checked the speed of his shot on sky or MOTD think it was about 110-115mph or something daft like that... But he scored a rocket freekick against us years later too that might have been quicker never saw comparisonsKolorov IMHO still has the hardest shot of our recent sides.
Not really taken notice of shot power or if they measure it anymore though but Kolarov defo struck a ball hard even knocked the ref out for Lazio, is it harder than Hasselbaink at shooting dunno but I'm sure he hit plenty of our own fans with his attempts.
Current players Walker, Foden and Rodri.
Past ones Tarnat struck them hard even at Bayern and carried it here, Yaya banged them in bat times although he added a bit of curve a lot of times some poor little girl was on the receiving end of one of his shots... I remember Dunne scored a disallowed rocket of a freekick in one game probably around 2004 jsh was a disgrace to disallow it.
Franny Lee, Colin Bell and David Phillips always capable of striking them hard on on old City videos I watched as a kid.
My dad said David Phillips had a proper rocket, said Lorimer was meant to be the hardest years ago too but Lee smashed them in bigtime.
I reckon footballers years ago would've defo hit the ball a lot harder than these days, it's not as easy or fair to compare those old heavy balls to today's lighter ones.
