I’ve never understood this comment, especially as its universally spoken about a predominantly left footed player.
He’s got a wand of a left foot.
He’s got a sweet left foot.
He’s got a fair left foot on him.
Cracking left peg.

All phrases coined to elaborate on the fact that a left footed footballer can kick a ball well with his left foot. But why? Isn’t that a requirement?

Baffles me, what other phrases get on your nerves eh?

A bit like Ramis who rattled that one in with his left on Tuesday night, but who – according to at least one poster on this forum – has no left foot and should be playing on the right of the three centre halves… ;)

Edit: ‘You’re not coming near me with that tiny thing’ – that’s the phrase that winds me up the most.
