I cannot understand how all professional footballers are not completely two footed, that's all they do , George Best wasn't known partially for his training, was right footed but made himself so good with his left foot you couldn't tell, why cant everybody do it

Sorry, are you asking why everybody can’t be as good as George Best?

Isn’t what you are asking a little like asking ‘why don’t striker score more’ or ‘why don’t keepers save everything’.

I’m sure every player would love to be two footed but I doubt it’s as easy as that.

No, I am asking players to be self-motivated to make themselves better by being equally comfortable on both feet, as you use both feet playing football, Wilf is a good example, was completely right footed now because of hard work he is two footed, The golfer Gary Player had a saying "The more I practice the luckier I get"

Blimey, I like Thomas but I have to have some sympathy for you there.

Name me a better one then, I could with a laugh, if you say Andy Gray, we may have a debate, but other than that I am fascinated who you’ll come up with

I'm generally terrible with my left foot. But, when I warm up for games, I try and only touch the ball with my left foot.

Also, for anyone who has coached football, a really amusing time for 8 year olds is training where they take penalties with their weaker foot. They are generally terrible at first, but over 15 minutes or so you can actually notice the difference.

Looking at their overall careers I’d say Cabaye.

Looking at their Palace careers I’d say Thomas without a doubt.

Was it Cloughie or another well renown manager Bill Shankley(?) That used to train their squads to use their weak foot & not be afraid?

My dad always told me that I had to be able to use both feet, when playing football

I’ve noticed over the years that naturally left footed players are just that, and will do anything to avoid using their right, whereas right footed players seem much more adapt at using their left foot if they have too.

Attilio Lombardo.

I'd also put Salako and Cannon in front of Thomas personally.

I disagree mate.
As a midfielder Cabaye is another level or two above Geoff.
Even for us.
I loved Geoff for us but he ain't the best midfielder we've ever had.
