      I don't know if anyone noticed but ... there are some players who are good with both feet.

      I've watched Pedro over the years and Luis Garcia in the past ... and I had no idea whether they were left or right footed predominantly.

      In a recent international, Pedro scored two chip goals, one with his left and another with his right! I found out he's right footed, though.

      You'd expect Garcia to be right footed when he scored that belter against Charlton from outside the box but the next thing you know, he's also scored a left footed volley against Juve!

      Even Santi Cazorla himself scored a left footed long range goal against West Ham but I've seen him take corners with his right.

      So, anyone knows any other players whom you can't tell which is their predominant foot?

      I would say most professional players should be able to use both to a certain degree, that said I remember one old drunk who paid 30 million for Veron who has got to be the most one footed player I have ever seen, he struggled to stand on his weak foot let alone use it.

      It's no doubt that professionals should be able to use both to an extent but the likes of Cazorla, Pedro and Garcia were so good that I could never tell what their natural foot is!!

      Also out of interest, i read that Morten Gamst Pedersen actually grew up a right footed player but his father told him to train his left foot .. it's now his normal foot!

      I was watching the Chelsea-United game with two United friends of mine and one of them was telling me one footed Valencia is.

      And yes, he was so one footed. His left foot is basically just for standing.

      Robbie Fowler was left footed but almost as strong with his right.

      Van Persie appears strong on both side too?
