    From the same article ^ (with short profiles, all wingers) : "GARDIEN René, 2 caps. Left winger of F.C Sochaux 1950-1955. Solid, lively, left-footed".

    Jean Grummelon (Rennes, France).
    Edmond Haan (Strasbourg, France).
    Francis Méano (Reims, 2 caps). A great talent.
    Jules Mathé (RC Paris, 2 caps).
    Vilmos Kohut (Hungary, Marseille...). maybe already cited in the thread.
    Jacky Faivre (2 caps in the Early 60's). He did not play exclusively on the wing but more centred on the attack line finally. Same profile in terms of positions for Paul Sauvage (Reims, 6 caps in the first half of the 60's).

    Bert Carlier (Dutch LW of Monaco in the 60's)
    Kostic of Yugoslavia 1956-1964 (already cited)

    In the article about the inside forwards, in the same series, the players who are mentioned as lefties are :
    Roger Piantoni
    Théodore Skudlapski, "Théo" (Monaco, a few caps, played at midfield in general)

    Puskas ofc... Stojaspal

    I think Bert Patenaude, USA international and posthumously declared the first ever scorer of a World Cup hat-trick. @Roger Allaway might know which was his dominant foot.

    It seems that Hernandez might be right-footed. However, Bouy, Costa, Davis and Struijk are left-footed so there are still thirteen lefties in the current Leeds squad.
