Sam Mitchell is another example, he just got the ball & used it so well that it was the ball that was doing the "running & carrying" instead of his feet !
I think back to our 95 side even, it was "too old, too slow" when we crashed out in straight sets in 94....full of slow midfielders like Williams, Fraser Brown, Ratts......hmmmm.
The slow players that you refer to were elite in other facets, and that offset the slow leg speed.
If you're slow, you need to be brilliant in some other aspects, otherwise you won't make it.
