Kenneth Farrington Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Seems to be a rare thing these days. Off the top of my head, I can only think of Cazorla & Neymar. By two footed, I mean someone who can hit a cross field pass on either side or hit a set piece with whatever. Nedved, Moravcik, Zidane, Forlan, Sneijder & my personal favourite, Brehme. For all Messi & Ronaldo are head & shoulders above everyone else, they are both one footed (Ronaldo less so to be fair). Why do you get so few now? George Best was poor on his left, so practiced so much that became stronger than his right. Is it more important to be an athlete now or does the modern day player care about this?

AberdeenAngus Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Paul Bernard was one of the best I recall seeing at Pittodrie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 best in recent times for us was Barry Ferguson I would say. I seem to mind Alan Stubbs being good with both feet. Certainly for a centre half? Jim Bett would be another. Seem to mind him scoring crackers with either foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus_Young Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 John Collins was also very good with his right peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagtag Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Robbie Fowler was as good with both feet. Never had to adjust his body or wait for the ball to be on his strong side. when I was a kid I remember reading Trevor Booking saying his dad would take him out and force him to work on his left foot when he was a kid. I think he wouldn't wear a boot on his strong foot to make him use the weaker. He was probably the most two footed player along with Dalglish I remember as a kid.

dandydunn Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I continuously blast the ball at my 7 year old on his weak side to make him trap with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Best I can think of at the moment is Santi Cazorla. Equally adept with either foot and takes set pieces with them both. Fantastic wee player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usainboltyarocket Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Surprised that the OP doesn't have Henrik Larsson in his list. Him and Laudrup both world class and both very good two footed players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Him and Laudrup both world class and both very good two footed players. If there was one Laudrup who was World class it wasn't Brian. Brian was the second best foreigner I ever witnessed in Scotland second only to Larsson but I'm afraid it was only Larsson who got close to the World class bracket.

BremnerLorimerGray Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Glenn Hoddle was adept with both feet. Zico and Bobby Charlton. Baggio, Maldini, Toni Kroos, Zlatan, Zambrotta, Lahn, Kaka. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringo Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 (edited) Could he have walked into a World eleven? I doubt it. I believe Larsson very nearly could have. Yes. His brother may have been a bit better but both were world class IMO. Edited April 25, 2015 by fringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandydunn Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yes. His brother may have been a bit better but both were world class IMO. I agree. I'm not saying Larsson wasn't a class act,far from it,but IMO Laudrup is the best that Ive seen in Scottish football. Followed closely by Larsson and Toni Kombouare.

Followed closely by Larsson and Toni Kombouare. Larsson was brilliant and one of the 3 best foreigners to ever play in Scotland, along with Laudrup and Gascoigne . I too think Laudrup was probably the best overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
