Sol Campbell mocked after bizarre Usain Bolt claim in late-night post

Sol Campbell has been mocked by a host of Premier League legends after a late-night social media post.

Just before 3am on Friday morning, the former Arsenal defender took to Instagram to compare himself with legendary Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt. Campbell, who's no stranger to raising eyebrows online, showed off an infographic containing the fastest Premier League players during the 2007-08 and 2008-09 seasons, while he was plying his trade for Portsmouth.

Top of the list was ex-Arsenal winger Theo Walcott, who clocked up a lightning-fast speed of 22.72mph. Despite being 34 at the time, Campbell managed to sit in second place, ranking ahead of Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres, who shared third place ahead of fourth-best Nicolas Anelka, Ashley Cole and Cesc Fabregas.
