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

Adri van Tiggelen Dutch international left back and center back who played for Sparta Rotterdam, Groningen, Anderlecht and PSV Eindhoven from 1978 to 1995 Michel De Groote Belgian international left back and center back who played for RFC de Liège, Anderlecht and Gent from 1975 to 1992. Filip De Wilde Belgian international goalkeeper active for Beveren, Anderlecht, Sporting Lisboa, Sturm Graz and Lokeren between 1981 and 2005.
Bwalya Kalusha International Sambian winger who played for Cercle Brugge and PSV Eindhoven among many other clubs between 1980 and 2001.
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 )
Gilbert Bodart Belgian international goalkeeper who was active for Standard Liège, Girondins Bordeaux, Brescia, Ravenna and Beveren between 1981 and 2002. Frank Ordenewitz German forward and midfielder who played for Werder Bremen, Köln and Hamburg from 1983 to 1996. Frans van Rooy Dutch midfielder for PSV Eindhoven, Antwerp, Standard Liège and PAOK from 1983 to 1995.
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.
6'4" but Chelsea were a team a midgets back then: John Bumstead 5'7", Mickey Hazard 5"7', John Spencer 5'6", Pat Nevin 5'6", Chopper Harris 5'8", David Speedie 5'7", John Hollins 5'8", Ray Wilkins 5'8", Mickey Thomas 5'6"...

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
