'Can I go faster? I hope I will'

Luton Town may be fourth from bottom in the Premier League table, but they boast a league leader in the shape of Chiedozie Ogbene.

In November, it was revealed that the Hatters winger had clocked the fastest speed by a player in the English top flight this term (36.93km/h), just ahead of Wolves' Pedro Neto and Liverpool's Dominik Szoboszlai.

Ogbene said: "I really like track and field and every now and then I like to put on the old Olympics, the 4x100m relays. I can't count how many times I've watched the London 2012 relay final.

"[Usain] Bolt is obviously someone I loved, the way he runs, his mechanics, but obviously I'm not 6ft 5ins so I don't try to hyperextend the way he can. I just love the way he is. He's like a piston.

"Sprinters advise to run at 90-95%, they don't try to run at 100%. If you get to 100%, you stress yourself.

"It's called the 90% rule. At 90% you're telling your brain 'I'm relaxed, I'm only looking for 90' and you end up running quicker because your brain is not chasing a goal."

Republic of Ireland international Ogbene has appeared in all 15 of Luton's Premier League matches this season, in his first year playing in the top flight.

"International football has helped me massively because it would have been a such a big jump," he added.

"When I came to the Premier League, I told myself 'I've competed well against some of the top full-backs in international football, I have to be confident'.

"Being quick is a good trait to have because defenders tend to respect you a bit more, they're scared you're going to go in behind.

"Can I go faster? I hope I will."
