Overmars in his prime was one of the fastest footballers I've ever seen. I think he'd finish at least 10-15 yards ahead of C. Ronaldo end to end on a pitch.
The real crime here is that some strikers are so fast that if they get behind your defense at the midfield line you have no way to catch them and so the entire game can be won with a fast striker. It unbalances the importances of all the other aspects of the game.
