Countless Premier League players past and present have been known for possessing a powerful shot – but none, perhaps, can hold a candle on that front to John Arne Riise.
The former Liverpool and Fulham defender had a left foot that regularly drew comparison to a traction engine, and struck fear into onrushing defenders with it during his time in England. The Norwegian's shot was so powerful that it occasionally caused injuries. One infamous incident even saw Riise cause lasting damage to Manchester United utility man Alan Smith during an FA Cup fifth-round clash at Anfield in 2006.
