    A team of Saints and former Saints, all left footers. Can you think of a better one? Please correct me also, I didn't do any research this is all off the top of my head, so I may have a few wrong.

    Grobbelar

    Baird, Shaw, M Svennson, Maya Yoshida,

    Fabrice Fernandes, Punch, Danny Fox

    T Lee, Jim Magilton, Bale

    Surman instead of Fox. He was left footed wasn't he?

    Don't recall Baird ever being left footed.

    FM doesn't think so either.

    Surman in midfield, Danny Fox instead of Baird in defence.

    I always thought I could rely on FM for this kind of thing until they made the legendary John Frendo right footed.

    Disappointed in you, SI.

    I really don't think he is. I could only find one compilation video of him and it's quite old but he almost exclusively uses his right foot for tackling and striking the ball:

    if he's left footed, this was a great shot with his wrong foot.

    and maybe baird is left footed after all.

    Here's my revised team:

    Grobbelar

    Danny Fox, Shaw, M Svennson, Jos Hooiveld

    Fabrice Fernandes, Punch, Andrew Surman

    Rudi Skacel, Jim Magilton, Bale

    edit: Skacel in; for Joe (I got to see that Frendo free-kick again).

    It's a fluid formation (to say the least).

    Also, full backs that usher wingers inside when defending, and cut inside to cross when attacking.
