Ronald Koeman despite being a defender finds himself in the list as he scored a bullet when he fired home a cracking shot hit at a speed of 188 kmph. He was playing for Barcelona in the Champions Cup final in 1992 against Sampdoria. It was from a free kick when his teammate flicked the ball for him to run and lash the ball in the bottom left of the goal. Whew!

The Dutchman was a key figure in Barcelona’s team as he helped the club lift four La Liga titles and a Champions League trophy. He is currently serving as the manager of Merseyside based club Everton, after finding great success with Southampton after guiding them to a sixth placed finish, their highest.
