Best left footers

[Shell]

I reckon I'm actually not half bad playing tennis left, even tho I play right. But that would be it. Cricket, golf, football everything else feels completely natural right.

Playing pool for sure right. I wouldn't even know how to hold the cue the other way

I do everything left handed...

but I bat and play golf right handed.

Yeah i know... weird.

GO Catters

Same here.

Left handed at pretty much everything but play golf right handed, also batted right handed. I think it had a lot to do with playing hockey as a kid where you can only play right handed.

Bowled left handed, tennis & snooker the same. Basketball favoured the left.

When it came to footy could kick both sides but preferred the right, handballing preferred the left.

Tennis - serve left handed , play groundstrokes with right.
Footy - lefty but (ok) not "Lawson like" on my right
Golf - putt left handed , normal strokes right
Cricket - bowl left handed , bat with right.
Basketball - shoot lefty , lay up righty

Summary - pretty f'd up unit

 

[Cataholic]

Footy - right foot
Bat - right handed
Bowl - right handed
Throw - right arm
Pool - right handed
Write - right handed

My left side is basically paraplegic.

3- Harry Taylor
4- Cameron Ling
5- Peter Riccardi
6- J Pod
7- Ronnie Burns

If you hadn't of had your hissy fit and read on you would of seen my apology for Couch not being included!

Yeah I totally overlooked Couch. Lingy had a very front on style for a left footer didn’t have that classical grace of a left footer who kicks around the corner slightly.

Initially at school was a lefty but was forced to change to right
I'm a terrible writer as a result Shell

Ive been craving a good hissy fit for a while. Hasnt been enough controversy on the geelong board since 2021. Your op delivered.

Thank you.

Us lefties dont like it when we are forgotton.

Graham was my first thought. Ridiculously good kick, long low and accurate. Hunt not far behind. Josh was great, Rex was no mug either

I'm naturally right handed writer and still terrible - at primary school my teacher recommended to my parents i become a doctor so that my writing didn't need to be legible

Never been a long kick as big as graham. He is the usain bolt of long kicking.

When he went foward he would regularly line up for goals when he marked them 65 metres out and would often kick them.

Aw Ben Graham

That kick at Whitten Oval thank you very much

I remember a windy day at KP.
Ben was kicking in - shaped up to kick to the right hand side where all the players had set up.
Instead he kicked a torp slightly left of the centre circle- it bounced well past the centre. Barnes had run to that side and punched the ball after the first bounce- landed 20 metres out from goal.
Would have loved to see Ben and Paul Vinar duelling it out on World of Sport Champion Kick
