    "Kicker" tested all Bundesliga players how hard they can shoot. Here is the ranking:

    1. Makaay (Bayern): 137 km/h
    2. Borowski (Bremen), Naldo (Bremen), Hanke (Wolfsburg): 136 km/h
    5. Blank (K'lautern), van Buyten (Hamburg): 135 km/h
    7. Grammozis (Köln), Rahn (Köln): 134 km/h
    9. Schlicke (Köln), Schulz (Bremen), Streit (Köln), Zandi (K'lautern): 133 km/h

    "Kicker" only listed the top 10 of each team. In that ranking Schalkes Poulsen is the worst with "only" 92 km/h.

    Hitzlsperger (Stuttgart) reached 131 km/h and Babatz (Mainz) got 130 km/h. Tarnat wasn't even among the Top 10 among the Hannover players. Those were the favorites prior to the contest. The players were allowed to shoot as often they wanted to.

    Rainer Bonhof would've owned all of them back in the 70s.

    Jorg 'the hammer' Albertz must have been up there. What a shot he had!

    I heard that Roberto Carlos shoots his freekicks at around 150 km/h

    Found this from an article about Albertz.

    "Jorg Albertz wants to continue his scoring run against Hibs today. So far Albertz has scored every time in his five games against the Edinburgh side to date. He said, "it's nothing personal, I just like scoring against Hibs. I used to think it was down to Jim Leighton. I remember scoring a free-kick against him that Sky Sports logged as the hardest shot in Britain, which I enjoyed. Although he's at Aberdeen now I still managed to hit the target against him."

    Does not give the exact speed though!

    They should have Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink take this test also.

    I'm surprised that Makaay has the hardest shot, seeing as he's not really the most physically built
