    Agathe was lightning.

    His pace was especially valuable in Europe, cos he could get past top quality defenders just on sheer gasoline.

    I guess it is getting cliche to say this but I think that Jinky had to be one of the fastest celts.... I also think about Kenny Dalglish, Jorge Cadete, Pierre Van Hooijdonk, and of course Agathe. Right now our fastest player HAS GOT to be Cha Du Ri..... Sometimes I think he might make a better winger or attacking midfielder than a defender. But he is a big, mental looking bhoy, so I guess he will make a class defender for us as well

    agathe got to be the fastest of any celtic player i've known, the man could pretty much give every single player a 5 yard head start and still beat them to the ball no one could match that he may well of been actually one of the fastest players in the whole of football during his peak time

    Surprises me aswell... I've never seen the "lightening pace" that he is supposed to have! Another one that surprises me is Hooper, he doesn't look
    any faster than Skippy!

    Aswell as his assists in Amsterdam and Stuttgart for Chris Sutton and against Barcelona at Celtic Park, again for Chris Sutton to score. Seemed to play better in the bigger games more often than the smaller ones.

    I also remember Ronaldinho raving about him in 2004 saying that he would be great in La Liga. Agathe is definetly one of my favourite 'forgotten' players.

    Agathe was signed for his pace and O'Neill made him into a decent footballer. He didn't need to amzing with the skill as he was so quick.

    Agathe, Samaras, Cha are the fastest i've seen i would say. McGeady and Bellamy could be up there too but they had their fair share of speed!
