I'd like to see a training session where Tyrone and Leon can only use their right foots (sic).

As a leftie myself, I was always conscious of building-up my right peg as a youngster. But it seems to me that left-footed players are worse with their weaker foot than right-footers.
Maybe the dearth of lefties generally (we are only 10% of the population or something) means that left-footed footballers are lazy, knowing they're more likely to get a game thanks to nature.

This has always been my theory with lefties, they have it too easy.

I played a lot on the left as a kid despite being right footed and it helped me a lot, it got me to a point where I could kick a ball just as badly with my left as my right.

I'm left-footed but similar to Lee could use my right foot equally badly. However I'm right-handed and I wonder if that makes me more 'two-footed' than someone who's both left-handed and left-footed.

Used to work with a lad that was pretty decent at cricket and played of scratch at golf. Used right handed clubs but batted  left hand on the cricket pitch.

I’d give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

I’m left-footed and right-handed too. I think it just makes us cleverer than normal people and better at pulling birds and that.

My dad, who was a decent footballer, was always on at me as a kid to use my left foot. I was in love with Maradona, and he was one-footed, so I didn't listen. It turns out that I wasn't Maradona.

Paolo Maldini was a great example. Naturally right footed but worked on his left foot so much that he became one of the greatest ever left backs and left sided centre backs.

Didn't know that about Maldini.

Just want to defend lefties after the unprovoked attack on the previous page. I'm naturally left and just as good on my right. Doesn't register which foot I'm using. Obviously a shit Sunday league carthorse, but point stands.

I had the same problem, but I at least managed to become later-life-Maradona.

Oh, of all things I could copy from him, I copied. Just the sublime talent that I struggled with. And the left foot.

I can picture Mings using Haaland as a target.
I recall a game where Tyrone really fought with Zalatn Ibrahimovic.
It affected Zlatan's performance.

Sorry, I've been out all afternoon and not long back. Do we know why Mings was missing?
