He won.

He was Rob Burrows and John Fash who was the presenter. Fash tried a toe bung for his second attempt and it was around 50 mph. Nicky won in mid 80s and called out Fitzroy Simpson (his ex team mate) before they were both at City.

Back in the distant past I think Franny Lee could hit a ball like a rocket.

Correct. Esp penalties.

Mark Ward also used to absolutely batter his penalties.one of them at Anfield nearly took their keepers face off to earn us a 2-2 draw.(kendall/Reid era)

Of the present squad,I have no doubt Rodri has the hardest shot,some of his efforts,...altho few and far between.. have been like exocet missiles...Spurs at home ,2nd match of his first season with us springs to mind.
 
I can only assume that all these non-Ederson answers aren't actually considering him in the first place.

Anyone who's seen him live take random shots just mucking around on game day would know how hard he hits the thing. Fucking tracer bullet.
 
Do you remember this one? I think it's 35 yards out, and he hits it low and flat. I don't think I have ever seen a City free-kick hit from a further distance and go in. I was at that game. Blackburn away was usually a good day.

Who could forget that, Roberto Carlos esque
 
been impressed with eddie's ability to knock it 75 yds from no run-up. Criminal he is not the designated penalty taker. Phil's goal was unsavable, like most "knuckleball" shots on target. Hit wthout any spin, top, back side what-ever, the ball is subject to the merest breeze or draught, and even a minor deviation is enough to wrong-foot a 'keeper. The principle caused the abandonment of muskets and the universal adoption of "rifling", imparting a self-centering spin on the round.

Pretty sure I remember the Nick Sumerbee shot being 67mph.
If it was a comp today Ederson would piss it.

"Back in the 1990s, Nicky Sumerbee was cited as having the hardest shot in football, which was technically true at the time. He was recorded as hitting the ball at an impressive 87 miles per hour"
