although lescott is a good few yrs younger than distin i think distin is as fast if not quicker than lescott. Summed it up for me the other night when i seen them play at hull, there was a ball that hulls striker was odds on to get, distin come out of knowhere and i remember saying to a mate i went with, did you see how quick distin got to the ball, and he agreed, he has quick speed, which he can utilise straight away, not one of these players that has to build a momentum up to get in a stride, its as though he can hit top speed as soon as he runs, i like that in a defender, he can snuff danger out asap then
