Where's that interview Swede?

Still writing on it.

I took it as he meant within a near future, as in "he's the first in line". I'm sure there are more good prospects but they'll have to wait a bit more.

"The second was on my right foot and I never really know what will happen when I swing my right foot."

"I hoped for the best."

Bit like Ryan Giggs then?

Adam Johnson, Ashley Young, Jack Wilshere, Jordan Henderson four English prospects off the top of my head very one footed.

All viewed by some has England internationals for the long-term.

Winger, Winger, Winger, Midfield, Midfield... name me many strikers???

Schlupp, is a great young prospect.. all i suggest is that he works on this area

Lukas Podolski and Marco Borriello are both very one footed. Podolski especially always cuts in on his left foot rather than shooting with his right.

Diego Maradona and Ferenc Puskas were also both famously very one footed too.

Tons of strikers. In fact, it's been the biggest weakest point of numerous Leicester strikers in recent years.

The whole reason Schlupp is at Brentford is to 'work on those areas' in a competitive game environment hence he did it on Friday night. What more can he do?

What more can he do?

He can score a couple of own goals on Sunday.

 

[drummindefender]

Arjen Robben is incredibly one footed

 

[Darth Vodka]

woeful defending

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Also, Arthur Rowley's right foot by all accounts was utterly useless, but with his left foot he could hit the ball like a rocket.

Pretty sure he had a decent spell with us. :icon_wink

Alright alright sorry... I'm wrong

Not a patch on Arthur Chandler though, who could use both feet and his head and despite his never scoring a single penalty still topped Rowley in the all-time scoring stakes; Rowley's cartload of spot kicks only got him into second place.

[Ike O'Noclassed]

I'd say the quote is just what a striker (one-footed or not) should be doing - just hit it - as long as it goes in.

Seems a long time ago now, but when Michael Owen burst on the scene, his fantastic pace would get him into goal scoring positions, then he'd lose the advantage by desperately trying to avoid shooting with his left, usually with tragically comic results. When he eventually did start using his left foot a bit, it wasn't bad at all - but by that time he'd lost the edge speedwise.

I don't remember Arthur having a useless right foot. Sure he used his left foot when he scored from 35 yards, but inside the penalty area he would shoot with his right foot when the ball was on that side.

I don't remember Arthur (either of them) FULL STOP

See, there IS someone older than me.

Yes, yes, we believe you...

Fair enough. I never saw him play, so if you saw him play you obviously know better, just from the stories I've heard often talk about how left footed he was.

Cartloads of penalties getting him into second place is a bit unfair. He'd still be well above Ernie Hine in 2nd (who seems to get forgotten a bit, despite being one of the most important players in the club's history) and he also played a lot less games than Chandler and has a much higher goal to game ratio. I am aware of course though, that most of Chandler's goals were in the first division and that most of Rowley's were in the second division.

For quite a few English clubs Ernie Hine's 156 goals would be enough to make him the club's record goalscorer at any rate.

Hine is actually Barnsley's all-time record goalscorer in fact and he scored less for them than he did for us. Rowley is also Shrewsbury's all-time record goalscorer despite scoring less for them than he did for us.

Both Chandler and Rowley deserve all the plaudits they get and more. It's rare for a team in England to have a player who scored over 250 goals for them, let alone 2 separate players. Would be interested to know if there's any other of the 92 league teams who have had 2 separate players reach that landmark.
