1 - Diego Maradona

2 - Puskas

3 - Rivelino

4 - Eder

5 - Liam Brady

By process of elimination, as long as Pele wasn't left footed it could only be Diego..

Now if we talking left footed as in one footed I'd have to say Rivaldo.

One footed definitely included.

So Rivaldo is your choice.

John Barnes

I've only seen Maradonna from that group and no one since has been better so that's my choice.

spideybuff · « **Reply #9 on:** October 29, 2009, 10:57:40 AM »

Rivaldo?
Stoichkov?
Mihailovic?

Them men could do real thing with one foot.

Maradona coulda use both..it wrong to call him a lefty.

Umm not really...Maradona was very one-footed.

For me I would go for Maradona & Rivaldo

Some other quality left feet in the biz not yet mentioned:

Lionel Messi
Alvaro Recoba
Mario Kempes
Eder
Roberto Carlos
Gheorghe Hagi

edit: Sorry Eder was already mentioned...oops

Cosign.

Best left foot after Diego.

Yes Diego... dat right foot was a walking stick.. and to mash sh!t with

kaisocagoals · « **Reply #16 on:** October 29, 2009, 12:48:45 PM »

Diego... El 10 is The Boss

but in terms of goals consistently, week in, week out, at the club level... Robbie Fowler could get a mention...

FineMan · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2009, 12:52:35 PM »

I enjoyed watching Redondo, he was pure class. There are a lot of pretty talented lefties who could make that list.

Why is this even a comparison or a discussion for that matter. Diego was the greatest player of all time, including Pele...I said it yes I did....Diego was the greatest player period or as we say in trini, full stop.

Old heads will say Puskas. I would say Diego.

Left footers I liked. Hagi, Ramon Diaz, Pasarella, Gerson, Futre, Leroy Spann

I would have to agree, it doh make sense to add other men in this category however men like Abede Pele and Redondo were some of my favorites.

Real Madrid's classic Number 5... Fernando Redondo was indeed very gifted... pity about the knee...
