    Who’s the best left footer currently ??

    These are my favourites.. off the top of my head ..

    Messi
    James Rodríguez
    Meset Ozil
    Mo Salah



    Special mentions for the massively underrated Granit Xhaka who does some lovely through balls ... and ManC Ederson

    Do you know if Bernd Nickel was left footed? I remember he could shoot fairly equally with either foot but unsure if he was a natural lefty or righty.
    (Didn't realize he passed away just three months ago :()

    I wonder which team currently ( or past ) had the most left footers ?

    These days the squads seem bigger and there’s more rotation..

    Man City seem stacked currently

    Mickey Droy.

    Chelsea captain and giant cart horse by today's standards, who kicked the ball, and opposing forwards, as far as he could.

    He scored a few too.

    All those under Cronaldo can in theory overtake him



    I bet if you did a right footed version of this that Messi would be high
