I've often wondered why a manager doesn't just sign up eleven players who are equally comfortable with both feet / both attacking and defensively minded and create a modern day total football side.

Anyway, focusing purely on the ambidextrous element for now, who would make up your two-footed fantasy xi?

---------------------------Taibi (so bad with both it was hard to tell)
Irwin ---------- Jonny Evans------ Terry-----IanH*
Ginola ------- Cazorla -- -- Barnes------Overmars
-------------Fowler----- ---Collymore

*Smat will vouch for me.

I've stuck to players who have played domestic football in England since PL, feel free to add your more continental / historic choices and try to beat my line-up.

Personally speaking I started off all right-footed. Then a few injuries, plus a game I developed at about 10 when i'd throw a tennis ball against back wall of house (with all upstairs windows open to increase randomness) and volley it left-footed into a small goal shaped hole under our brick-bbq, meant i played more and more left footed. Since then, i've marvelled at how good players can be so one-footed on my own team, let alone professionally and I love it when I find a player who seems completely two footed, and wondering whether they're naturally así or if it's something they worked on.

Agree with this, it's incredible how bad some players with their weaker foot. I'm sure some people have a natural advantage, but mostly it's down to practice (or lack of it). I'm sure you're not the only one who's developed the skill due to injury, I think that's true for Santi Cazorla and he's the most two-footed player I've ever seen.

Cazorla is genuinely two footed. Honestly dont even know which foot is his dominant one. It is such a huge advantage, it is definitely surprising that all players arent two footed.
