    Besides Argentina/Uruguay/Brazil, the other hotbed of lefties comes from Eastern Europe. Here is an all-time team of left-footers from that area of the world:

    Yashin
    Mihailovic-Katanec-Jarni
    Berger-Balakov-Hagi-Djazic
    Puskas-Suker-Stoichkov

    Sorry I can't read German, but both (the German and the much-shorter English) Wiki pages reference 'Charly' Dörfel's post-football career as a circus clown. :) I just skimmed the entries but did not see any reference to the

    [​IMG]


    origin of the nickname Charly - any ideas? The photo above suggests he actually signed autographs as Charly.

    He got his nickname because as a boy he was a fan of Charlie Brown of the Peanuts.

    He also tried his luck as a singer in the mid-1960s

    Amazed that it took eight years for someone to name Dragan Džajić, a huge star of the 1960's and 70's.

    I'll name two rather famous lefties -

    Oleg Blokhin, a 1975 European player of the year and the all-time Soviet league and team scorer

    Here's his supergoal vs. Bayern in the 1975 Euro Super Cup (Bayern won the C-Cup, Kiev won the Cups Winners Cup that year)



    The other is Mr. Power Shot .. I mean, Herr Power Shot - Michael Tarnat

    And here, Tostao, who clearly had no bones in his waist, dribbles three players to set up (Pele with the final pass to Jairzinho) goal vs. England in 1970.

    (2.00 in)

    BTW, the above game also featured a great English left fullback Terry Cooper and the Brazilian duo Paulo "Caju" Cesar and Everaldo .

    And here's a Soviet/ Dinamo Kiev legend Anatoliy Byshovetz, at the same 1970 WC.
