His Manchester United teammate had a legendary left foot as he scored in all bar one of his Premier League seasons.

Rivaldo

The Brazilian and his famed left foot won the 1999 Ballon d'Or award and also the 2002 World Cup, not bad.

Stoichkov

The Bulgarian reached world fame in Barcelona and was world-class with his left foot, assisting on multiple occasions.

Maradona

A far better player than manager, Maradona was one of the world's best despite never winning a Ballon d'Or.

Messi

Five Ballon d'Or awards, surely the best of all time?
