Of the recent/current ones - (ex-Liverpool, Roma, Fulham) John Arne Riise and a long time MLS (inverted) winger Justin Mapp. And, from the West German's 70's - Erwin Kremers (he of the Kremers twins), Bernd Patzke, Felix Magath and of the later era Heiko Herrlich, Christian Ziege and Marco Bode. And two English leftbacks of the 80's and 90's - Kenny Sansom and Graeme Le Saux. And from the international 70's - Dutch left back Hugo Hovenkamp (Euro'80, 31 caps) and a Soviet 1972 Player of the Year Evgeny Lovchev (currently a Sov Sport pundit and a genuinely dense one at that).
Yes, I know! And it took eight years to do so! And here's Didier Six (vs. Brazil, 1977, about 1.25 in)
I am not entirely sure about Erwin Kremers - I recently watched the 1972 Euro semi final Belgium v Germany and he used his right foot whenever he had the choice between his left and his right foot.
I just some some Schalke highlights but, off that 1972 final vs. USSR, he stays on the left and serves crosses ... then again, you may be right.
My first candidate for this post Pier Luigi Casiraghi looks bi-footed. But an early-mid-80's Soviet/Armenian star Khoren Oganesian is surely a lefty.
And surfing the waves of my memory. Here's Uzbeki ..., no, make it a Greek Maradona, Vasilis Hatzipanagis. His is a fascinating story - born in the USSR (or, to be more precise, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan SR) to political refugees from Greece. Began his soccer career with Pakhtakor, made it to the Soviet team trying to qualify for the 1976 Olympics ... then, after that, he was somehow allowed by the Soviet authorities to emigrate to Greece, where he began playing for the country of his parents. However, FIFA ruled that he is not eligible for Greece, having already played for the USSR. So, he had to be content with a career with Iraklis FC, club his parents followed way back when. That didn't stop him from being named the greatest Greek player of all time. Looking at the highlights, one doesn't wonder why. PS. On a sad note, most of his former Pakhtakor teammates perished - of the 178 people killed in total - in the infamous mid-air collision of two Tu-134's over Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine on August, 11, 1979.
And to throw out a bunch of current names - Hulk, Bernardo, Luis Filipe, Antoine Griezmann, Daniel Sturridge, Danny Welbeck, Luke Shaw, Cristian "Cebolla" Rodriguez, Diego Godin, Christian Ansaldi, Marcos Rojo, Tyler Blackett, Adnan Januzaj, Chris Smalling, Daley Blind, Fabian Delph, Ally Cissokho, Charles Insomnia .. eh, N'Zogbia, Ben Mee, Ryan Bertrand, Dušan Tadić, Jake Livermore, Andros Townsend, Mousa Dembele, Matt Jarvis, Stewart Downing, Aaron Creswell, Jose Enrique, Dejan Lovren, Alberto Moreno, Marc Muniesa, Brek Shea, Damian Duff, Paul Koncheski, Dmitriy Kombarov, Vladimir Granat, Yuri Zhyrkov, Dmitriy Torpinsky, Alexander Büttner, Domenico Criscito, Zoran Tosic .... and probably a few I missed (Nicolas Lombaerts, IIRC, is a lefty too)
Alan Rough - Scottish international goalkeeper of the 70s and 80s playing for Partick Thistle, Hibs and Celtic among other clubs.
After watching Brazil v Scotland (4-1) 1982 I have noticed that Junior and John Robertson are both ... right-footed! I always had them down as left-footed due to the respective positions they played.
Yes John Robertson, the plight of Kevin Keegan's Hamburg! I still remember quite vividly when I was a teen reading one of my 1980s German football books on the history of the European Cup how the author described Robertson as a "a slow player with a belly who Kaltz obviously didn't take too serious when he was strolling around the Hamburg penalty box but suddenly he exploded and scored the decisive goal." As a left winger he was of course also competent with his left foot .... in the '82 Brazil game I saw him taking a freekick from the left side with his right foot - clear sign that he is a natural right-footed player.
Yeah, Clough told the press that Kaltz would have to worry about Robertson (when asked how he would cope with Kaltz's attacking qualities). Having said that, as we discussed before, Hamburg were well on top for much of that game and that was a rare moment in that game...but the decisive one. He was indeed an unusual type of winger though (originally played as a CM btw, pre-Clough). He scores with a right-footed free-kick vs New Zealand too in 1982 of course.
From "Soccer made in Germany" years - Michael Frontzeck and Hansi Pflügler. And I've always thought Robbo was a lefty ... but he is really two-footed.
Mickey Thomas (1970s and 80s international Welsh winger playing for several English clubs including Manchester United, Everton and Chelsea)
Leighton James - difficult to assess. The Welsh international left winger of the 1970s and 80s who played for Burnley, Derby and a number of other British clubs frequently used both feet for set-pieces. Free-kicks he took with his right foot, corners from the right side with his left and corners from the left side with his right foot. Very competent crosses from the left wing. So he's either genuinely two-footed or very competent with his weaker foot.
Heinrich Strasser - Austrian international left back and midfielder of the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s playing for Wacker, Admira and First Vienna among other clubs.
Lennart Skoglund - Swedish international outside left of the 1950s and 1960s playing for Hammarby, AIK, Inter, Sampdoria and Palermo. Mel Hopkins - Welsh international left back of the 1950s and 1960s playing for Tottenham, Brighton & Hove and Canterbury.
