We had Saha and Rossi for a few cups games in 2006
Strike partnerships where both players were left-footed - are there any?
- Thread starter Physiocrat
- Start date
Don't steal from me!
Sorry I missed that. Probably one of the best suggestions.
Griezmann and Giroud for France, Griezmann and Sorloth for Atletico. Dybala and Mandzukic briefly at Juve, Dybala and Lukaku briefly at Roma.
Fair to argue that Griezmann and Dybala are more 10s than actual strikers, but it's hard enough thinking of strike partnerships at all in the modern era.
From yesteryear, I don't think Puskas and Kocsis have been mentioned?

Mandzo is right footed.
Two most important goals in his career he did score with his keft though.
To raise this topic on another level;
Cech
Bale, Chiellini, Samuel, R. Carlos
Robben, Cruyf, Charlton
Messi, Maradona
Puskas
Who needs central midfielders...

In terms of it actually being a striker partnership (presumably has to be 4-4-2) Christian Vieri and Marcelo Salas were pretty good together for Lazio before Salas injury
Was trying to think of a partner for Suker, forgot he'd been at Real.
Damn, i just remembered. Suker played with Maradona in Sevilla.
Adriano and Vieri too. If I remember correctly.
Dybala and Vlahovic at Juve, only half a season though.
That would have been potent if both at their peak. Can’t really remember much of Maradona at Sevilla
I am pretty sure that Maradona says the same.
Puskas and Kocsis, possibly? (kocsis's variously listed as left-footed, but I'm not entirely sure that's accurate.)
Maradona and Kempes must have been fun, the few times it happened.

442 diamond or a 352 works too. Good shout for Salas and Vieri. Sales was quality before his injuries.
Salas also overlapped with Claduio Lopez at Lazio for a year. I don't know how much they actually played together, though -- neither seems to have been regularly available that season.
Cole and Yorke.
Although both were right footed.

Thread is mental
Niall Quinn getting a fair few mentions in here, but people are clearly forgetting that he never kicked a football. He’s the only player to go through his entire career having only headed a football, including during situations where he was asked to take penalties and restarts after half time.
Marco Delvecchio and Vincenzo Montella at Roma in the early 00’s.
Ravenelli and Vieri Lazio
Raul and Zamorano Real
Zamorano and Salas for Chile
Sure there was more cross other with some of the above too

I just asked ChatGPT and a lot of the answers are (probably thankfully) as pointless as the ones here in the thread because it mentions right footed players who have a good left foot.
zamorano was right footed
Every single source I've ever seen claims otherwise.
But I think I'm actually fairly willing to believe they're wrong.
Not sure why, just watch his compilations.
I did. He looks pretty right-footed in most footage, but there's just enough counter-evidence to maintain some credibility.
The thread it's all over the place.
If the question was about "Forwards", it would be easier, but it's asking about "Strikers", so it should be sthg. like if Batistuta en Crespo were lefties...BTW, they weren't...the thread it's also naming players that were mainly right footed.

Jordi Cruyff was a lefty wasn't he? I'm sure that's who you really meant anyway
Bleacher report?
Fabrizio Romano, actually.
Well, striker partnership Idk.
But goal scoring powers on the same team -
Eder and Serginho, Brazil 82.

Cruyff used both feet well, but you could definitely see his right was the dominant one.
Great thread to weed out an insane amount of people who can’t tell their left from their right.
From memory I’m getting left. I know transfer market say’s right but I feel I’ve seen him finish more on the other side. Maybe I’m wrong.
Striker partnership? What is this? The 1990s?
Saha and Rossi putting Burton Albion to the sword in the league cup.
