Former Netherlands winger Arjen Robben showed he still has a taste for speed as the ex-Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich wideman braved the pain barrier to complete the Rotterdam Marathon on Saturday.
The two-time Premier League winner, who was known for the irresistible speed of his dazzling runs during his footballing career, admitted that his first ever attempt at the gruelling feat 'really wasn't fun'.
Setting off as one of 11,720 runners, resilient Robben rocketed along at a speed of around 8.7mph for much of the 26.2-mile race, putting him well above average across the field.
