I don't know about 'best ever' but looking at a few mentioned in the post above I'd say Cazorla. John Terry suddenly became a cultured left sided CB once.

Andreas Pereira has taken corners with his weaker foot for the U21s too. :D

Diego Forlán had some ridiculously impressive stat in Spain a few years ago.

It was a long the lines of 15 goals with his left foot and 15 with his right in the same season :lol:

Pedro very two footed too. Adriano as well - Barcelona full back, not ex-Inter striker.

Easy, Sir Bobby Charlton. Right footed corners from the left, left footed corners from the right. And the weight and precision of his passes from either foot was indistinguishable in terms of quality.

Inside right
Would be interesting to name three from each country.

Brazil:

1. Pele - arguably the best player of all time, who would be an all-time top 5-10 player even if his right foot was shite.
2. Ronaldo - could go either side at any time because he was so able on both his left and right.
3. Falcao - Same as Ronaldo, but could also spray passes all over the pitch from deep on either foot without a moment's thought.

Andreas Brehme. At one point he probably didn't even know himself which foot was the better one.
He took a penalt in the shootout against Mexiko in 1986 with his left foot: Video (at 8:27)
And scored the winning penalty in the 1990 final against Argentinia with his right foot: Video (at 6:55)

Yep. Don't know many players who can just decide they want to take a free kick with their right foot and then from the next corner decide to take it on their left.

Sir Bobby Charlton. Could smash em in, play delicate passes, dribble etc with either foot, with consummate ease and grace that was absolutely brilliant to watch. Andreas Brehme too was as two-footed as they come but I'd give the edge to Sir Bobby myself.

Has to be Carzola

I can't remember how true this is but Saha is a left footed but was more comfortable trying to take penalties with his right. Anyone?

Pavel Nedved.
Both these guys are ambidextrous from birth I read before! Di Stefano and Zico are/were as well.

Most people don't realise that Maldini and Fachetti are both naturally right footed. The two best LB's ever too which is strange.

A bunch of #10's are both footed which is really important for the position. Totti, Zidane, Sneijder are all brililant with both feet.
