left-footer

Kicks with left

A left-footer is someone who kicks primarily with the left foot, especially in soccer or football: The team needs a left-footer for corner kicks.

In British and Irish slang, left-footer means a Roman Catholic—the origin is disputed but may relate to the design of Irish spades, supposedly favoring one foot over the other depending on religious community.
