Brendo 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Just a thought, what GOOD left backs can you think of who are right footed. Or right backs who are left footed. I cant think of any.Was just thinking because someone rang up canary call after the sunderland game i think it was, and said that Lappin would make a great right back! [:O]Poor poor deluded man...Can you think of any right footed left backs, or left footed right backs?COYY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chunky Norwich 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Why would they be? Some wingers prefer their ''opposite'' foot but only so they can cut in and have a crack at goal.But to answer your question, I can only really think of John O''Pies, although he seems to get played everywhere, and Andy Hooze had a good game at left-back once Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

drunkunmunkey 0 Posted September 11, 2009 the best fullbacks should be able to use both feet! [:)]Fabio, in the Man United reserves plays down the left side, but is right footed, according to football manager... [:)]Oh and if you see Phillip Lahm as a left back, hes right footed! But apart from that...no not really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-ru 0 Posted September 11, 2009 [quote user="cityislife"]Ashley Cole[/quote]I knew it!! For years I have been arguing that Ashley is right footed! I heard it when he made his debut on Sky, and no one believed me... but Football Manager doesn''t agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thirsty Lizard 3,227 Posted September 11, 2009 Maybe it was before you guys time but backin the late 80s and early 90s we had a left back called Mark Bowen. Played 399 times for Norwich and he was right footed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Spector 0 Posted September 11, 2009 William Gallas used to play left back didn''t he? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
john in exile in leeds 4 Posted September 12, 2009 What about Geoff Butler ? A good left back, who switched to right back when Ted Payne was out injured for weeks - and Alan Black came in at left back. Anyone as old as me who remembers ?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
