Here's a subject that I have wondering about for some time - for some years in fact.
Why don't footballers make better use of their weaker foot? Very often, the game is slowed right down for a player to shift the ball to his stronger foot and very often a chance to shoot is lost.
In the City first team squad, for example, I can only think of 2 or 3 players who are more or less capable of using both feet. To save a guessing game, they are Richard Duffy, Ryan Harley (shoots but rarely passes with his left foot) and possibly John O'Flynn, although I haven't seen enough to be sure. I don't know about Jake Thomson or David Noble, not having seen enough of them in action either. As far as I can tell everyone else is more or less one-footed.
A question that all footballers and ex-footballers out there, in particular, might be able to help with.
