….had as many left footed players in and around the team. Just posted on the Jack Burroughs thread (who looked suspiciously left footed) and it reminded me of a conversation coming back from Southend. Can't ever recall having so many left footed players in the team.

Let's see how many we can get to - and see if anyone can think of a previous team with so many.

I'll start it with # Doyler

What's the problem with left footed players?

I remember during the Chris Coleman years we had a few. He made some comment about how he had trouble signing left-footers only to come here and find we had all of them

Depends how deep into the team you wanna go...

Mason and Camwell
Kelly maybe

Yeah
Was it under Micky Adams or Dowie
Think they eventually commented on it.

I noticed this as it seems there's a massive imbalance. JCH, Chaplin, Baka are are all left footed and then the majority of our defenders are right footed apart from our left backs (obviously). The team is completely topsy-turvy.

Try further up the pitch !

Edit - James has cleared most of them up....not all, though!

Am i remembering this correctly...in our championship days, we didn't sign David Vaughan, the welsh midfielder because he was left footed, despite the fact that he was a decent player, because Coleman? thought we had too many lefties ?

Johhny Blue · Oct 23, 2018

We’ve had a few no footers over the years

All two footed players. That’s where the magic lies!

Houchens Head · Oct 24, 2018

I've got two left feet. Well, that's what I'm told when I try to dance!

Johhny Blue · Oct 24, 2018

I think both Kelly Evans's were two footers

No, you might mean David Bell? We then decided to give him a ludicrous 4 year deal when his contract expired!

I think Pressley was the same, I remember him not signing a CB, because he said he wanted a Left footed CB to bring balance.

Being one footed isn’t just about passing. Defenders have a dominant foot when tackling. So I fully understand why coaches prefer a right and left foot combination when picking their preferred centre back partnership.
