Quality Blades 'lefties' ....

[Rufus Smalls]

John Fleck (I love that bloke)

Been constantly thinking about the cross Flecky delivered to Bash for the goal v Ipswich. Generally, in my opinion, quality left footed players stand out more than 'righties'. I hate the cheating druggy twat but Maradona springs to mind.

John Fleck possesses a left foot that a lot of Premiership players would die for - which got me thinking......

I can't recall many Blades players from the recent past that can match the left peg - close control, passing and crossing skills - of John Fleck. I would put Glynn Hodges in that bracket and maybe Andy Reid came close but he was only briefly on loan.

Of course you lot will now provide an avalanche of former Blades that I have completely overlooked.

Has anybody seen a better central midfielder than John Fleck in this division yet?

 

[madeinsheffield]

Strachan thought he had, got that wrong didn't he

I heard that Michael Twiss was an ardent socialist.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Hodges best left foot ive seen from a Blades player, even Motson said it was magic. If he could have been arsed he could have been a super star with a top 6 club.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Stephen Quinn could scoop it aimlessly over his shoulder along with the best of them. He did occasionally do some quality stuff with his left peg though.

 

[Sean Thornton]

Joe Bolton

 

[Bert]

Either foot is more praiseworthy : Borbokis, Michael Brown.

 

[BigBed]

Dean Hammond (bit of sick came up!)
With his "unseen" left foot capabilities.

Enda Stevens ain't too shabby either.

 

[Canterbury Blade]

I know to me as a ten year old he seemed to be omni footed but wasn't the magnificent Alex Sabella left footed?

If so, and no disrespect to the others, but that bloke could do things with a football that I couldn't do with my hands..

El Majo !

 

[Groucho Blade]

Geoff Salmons was massively underrated at BDTBL, until he left...and then you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone.

 

[Silent Blade]

David Brooks

 

[Bert]

The two most one footed players ever seen at The Lane.

Beesly and Keith Gillespie.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

One of my early Blades hero's but can anone confirm if this fella was left footed .......... ??
