Ronaldo. Scored rocket with both feet. And no two foot player score more goals than him.
Best Two-Footed Players Ever
- Thread starter Needham
- Start date
Gheorge's lad Ianis Hagi takes them and penalties with either feet.
Score goals using weaker foot is not an impressive thing.
Crossing and free kicks probably the hardest.

Colombian Falcao has scored some beautiful goals with his weaker left foot.

Falcao's head was a foot itself. So in a sense he had three right foot.
Pedersen arrived as a winger/LM in the premier league, in a period where the ideal winger-type started to change a lot I think. A "budget-Beckham" was much less attractive than a "budget C.Ronaldo" in 2005-2010 I think. And Pedersen was certainly much more similar to Beckham of those two. Had he arrived 10 years earlier I think he would have gotten a bigger career.
Dribbling is the hardest, especially with adjusting body position for each foot.
That's why Ousmane Dembele is the most 2-footed player I've ever seen. He's one of the very few players I've seen who can adjust his body to dribble with either foot for extended periods, without the need to switch to a more dominant side.
Most players use their dominant foot more when they dribble, regardless of what side they play on. Ousmane when on the left uses his right side to dribble, shield, and execute, and when on the right uses his left. It's the most intriguing thing to watch, I just can't remember anyone else with that skill.
Yes, that crossed on my mind too. I have seen Dembele's dribble with his 'weaker" foot helps him create or score goals. He's one of the best right now. Nedved in the past, and maybe Pires?
I've just never seen players using his weaker foot when taking freekicks.
Josef Masopust and Rabah Madjer

I seem to remember ole scoring plenty with his left? But dead ball from either foot is very impressive.
I'm not sure, a lot of kicking a dead ball is body shape. Put your stronger foot down in the right place as non kicking foot is half of it I always thought.
Well everything is body shape in a way but your better foot (this means the brain really) compensates and improvises better on the favoured side.
VDS is the most ambidextrous goalie I’ve seen. He rarely seitched to his right if he received the ball on his left, even when given ample time. Watching DDG hoof with his left is terrible in comparison.
I don’t see Evans as a candidate. Hasn’t he even stated he prefera playing on the right as he is more comfortable bringing the ball out with his stronger foot?
A future Greenwood perhaps?
agree with those saying it is plain weird that many professional footballers sre so one footed.

Fullbacks Maldini & Brehme were famously two-footed.
George Best. Left or right didn't matter!
Zizou ? Seen him smash volleys in with his left peg
Pele man, Pele.
In 10 years time the answer will be Greenwood. Mason Greenwood
He would definitely be my nomination.
And he is just as lethal with his head don't forget.
The best player I have ever seen.
Good call. He was able to dribble at pace and then shoot with either foot.
But the best I have seen is CR7.
Zidane is a good shout. Has seen him smash quite a few goals with his "weak" left foot. The stunner against Liverkusen in CL final 2002 was also with his weaker foot.
Charlton was better than CR7.
Nani is probably the best 2 footed player we've had in a long while in terms of shooting and crossing.
Here's some grainy footage of Dmitriy Loskov scoring some free kicks with both feet. Russian league playmaking legend that wasted his potential not moving abroad. He wasn't a quick dribbler, but for everything he did had a perfectly balanced two-footed technique and backed up with great vision. Free kicks, penalties, shots and corners he'd take with whatever foot was best for the angle he wanted and his pinpoint long passes and through balls with either foot were his trademark.
Probably been posted but our very own Diego Forlan was truly 2 footed.
As others have said B Charlton was very very good with his left also.

Anyone mentioned Kevin Muscat?
Andreas Brehme.
Best - best two-footed player ever!
^ For outfield players.
(Charlton, CR7, Saha and Greenwood)
For keepers,
VDS - best two-footed keeper ever!

Ivan Perisic. People believe that he is left footed but he is right footed.
But the best is of course Ronaldo. Amazing with the left and right

Antonio Valencia
I remember Jimmy floyd H having a sweet left foot next to that powerful right.
Arshavin was another one.

What about players who exclusively used only 1 foot and were terrible with the other, but it didnt matter? Robben, Rivaldo..
Michael Owen could score with either foot. Predominantly right footed but he scored some great goals with his left as well.
If Ronaldo's right foot is a 10 for shooting, his left foot is probably a strong 9-9.5.
Diego Costa is easily the most two footed striker I've watched.
Surprised Zidane isn't mentioned more often. Hasn't he scored free kicks with his left an his right?
I also recall him scoring some absolute screamers and volleys with his left foot.

If you're just talking United players then Carrick is worthy of a mention. His passing on either foot was exceptional. Scholes was pretty handy pinging it with his left foot too.
Can't really remember but I'm assuming Irwin was pretty strong on his left?
I'd throw Michael Laudrup in the mix. Great with both feet. Could dribble, pass and shoot with both feet. In addition, he had great vision which made him one of the best playmakers in an era with some of the finest players we've ever seen.
