Less we forget OUR HERO...Johnny Haynes...

Two-footed' players were less rare then than they are today, when some coaches, apparently, discourage development of 'the wrong' foot in case it inhibits the player's 'natural' talents. Watching top class players shuffle the ball on to their 'correct' foot is one of the more embarrassing features of the modern game.

That is very true, when we were kids we had to practice to kick as well with the weak foot as the strong and I still can to this day 092.gif

Me too. I wasn't much of a player - but would have been ashamed not to have been able to, say, take a left footed corner.

I remember an interview with George Best in which the interviewer said to him, 'Of course, you were lucky to be naturally two footed.' Best laughed at him and said, 'No I wasn't. I was right footed, but practiced with my left for two hours every day after training from the age of eleven to get it as good as the right.'

As the old saying goes, 'The more I practice, the luckier I get.'
