Rank the Everton left footers

[Tel001]

The thread was originally gonna be 'best left foot' but that's obviously Kevin Sheedy, so, in order of best to worst, rank the players you've seen for Everton who you think had a great left foot.

Sheedy
Rodriguez
Baines
McNeil
Hinchcliffe

What about Billy? Wasn’t here long but his greatest goals collection for us was quite impressive …

 

[John from Bootle]

Bilyaletdinov as good as any except for Sheedy and Rodriguez.

Going purely off striking ability with his left foot.

Not for ability or as an overall player as he was a disappointment.

Not for me. As you say, maybe for striking ability, but even that's questionable seeing as he scored only scored 8 goals for us, and 51 in his entire career. I've seen Cuco Martina hit a worldie before (not for us mind).

Striking ability aside, all the others mentioned were deadly from set pieces and general delivery in to the box. This lad not so much.

As an aside, I just discovered he's a little over 3 months older than Ashley Young

Show me any player whose did this mate, ordered to retake it after putting it in thr top corner, calm as you like sticking it in the other side.

@Eggs I know you'll love seeing this again.

….was thinking of exactly the same clip when I posted, much appreciated.

As good for me was Baines doing it twice in the same game from similar positions, I think Leighton isn't far off Sheedy and it's nostalgia combined with a winning team that'll help Sheedy's case, but both terrific footballers:

Striking ability he was excellent.

Portsmouth at Home
Wolves Away
Man United at Home

But I did think he'd got a couple more that I had forgotten about but doesn't look like it.

I wasn't putting him anyhere near some of the others as an actual player though.

 

[Houghty19]

Sheedy hands down the best

 

[Lord Byron]

Dave Thomas crosses to Bob Latchford was a work of art.

Johnny Morrisey was good too.

 

[Cameron Manning]

If we are talking about only the left foot, then Bily. Some of the goals he scored were outrageous, Portsmouth and United spring to mind. The rest of his body was a shambles though.

Billyletdown was one of the best walking footballers I’ve ever seen!

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Honourable mention to Rhino. He was a bit clumsy but that left foot was a guaranteed goal whenever we had a penalty.

What about the midfielder we got very late in his career but was an inspiration for two or three years, Gareth Barry and was Paul Power a left footer helped us win the league title?

Sorry for the potato quality but it was just a fantastic goal. My gf at the time's brother was a Newcastle ST and text her to tell me that it was hands down the best free kick he's seen live, an absolute bullet of a kick.

Similarly, Billy's goal vs Wolves at the end of the season - just kept rising, monster of a shot. As you said earlier - shame the rest of him was very subpar
