Pele was naturally right footed... however he left was so good, plenty people couldn't figure it out.

So de talk go... if yuh watch highlights of the man himself, you wouldn't know either...

meh fadda used to write left hand, bat left-hand and bowl right-hand, goalie- Kick ou right-foot and throw-out left hand. meh sista uses to write leff hand, dribble basketball left hand but shoot right hand, in Netball (she play for Canada), shoot left hand and block right hand.

I used to think both-ah-dem was f**ked up more dan betta..buh dem was ah different kinda ppl too, ah had to think so, dais meh family    :devil:

you still talking about right and left footed..is right and left handed we talking about. heheh

in any case, there was no confusion. people like to talk that talk to make a point..but it is ole talk - a huge exaggeration. he could use both feet well, but he was far more partial to the right foot...noone ever watching Pele play in a game would be confused which was his preferential foot.

yeah..when I read the list, the one that stood out was Maradona. I was a huge Napoli fan when Diego and Careca were there and one time I saw a clip of them signing autographs, and I was taken aback cuz Diego, who is left footed, was signing with his right hand...while Careca who is right footed was signing with his left hand. I know of people who are like that but still, the natural assumption is that a right footer would be right handed and vive versa...so as a peong fan..the memory stuck.

de Brazilian should be on the list
