Rumbelows Sprint Challenge participant
at 14:45 11 Sep 2025

Hi all.

My name is Stuart Steelyard, and I’m writing a book for Pitch Publishing on the Rumbelows League Cup era (1990–92). One of the most unique features was the Rumbelows Sprint Challenge — where players from every club raced for the title of fastest footballer in the league.

But I could do with your help.

I’ve managed to nail down almost all of the 93 entrants, but I’m missing the player who represented Ipswich Town.

They ran in the Central East heats on Thursday November 14th 1991 at Molineux. Unfortunately there’s no Saint & Greavsie archive footage of the heat they were in.

Ive heard rumours that it might have been Phil Whelan or Chris Kiwomya - but I have no further proof that this was the case.

If anyone remembers who ran for The Tractor Boys, or has a programme/newspaper cutting from late ‘91 that mentions it, I’d love to hear from you

It’ll help me complete the full list for the book — and you’ll be credited for your help!

Thanks so much for your time.

Best regards,
Stuart
