Louis Saha has revealed a surprising fact about himself in an honest conversation with Everton hero Tim Cahill.
The Frenchman spent four years at Goodison Park after moving from Manchester United in 2008 and instantly set about making a name for himself in front of goal, guiding his new club to the FA Cup final in his first term on Merseyside.
When Evertonians think back to the striker's playing style and his strikes in royal blue, they might recall the majority coming from his left foot.
But, speaking to Cahill on Instagram Live on Saturday evening, the former forward revealed that he is actually right-footed.
Saha said: "It's funny because I've been asked for so many years about this!
"When you're young and you don't go to physios and doctors around, I got an injury on my right groin. So you don't go to hospital, so I started to play with my left and that's it!
"I found myself quite easily agile and to get myself going. It was my strength, I was able now to play on both sides.
"But at the start I'm a right footer, if you asked me to do an overhead kick or something it's with my right foot - I can't do it with my left! Then all about skills and dribbling would be my left."
Saha's time at Goodison Park yielded 35 goals in all competitions before he sealed a switch to Tottenham Hotspur in January 2012.
Cahill asked his former teammate about his best performances as a player, of which his four-goal display against Blackpool for Everton was one of the three choices.
And, when asked about his best teammates with the Blues, two names stood out for the Frenchman.
"At Everton I had my players I really linked with," Saha added.
"Firstly it was you [Cahill], you were very clever using the runs and the timings, so every time I got the ball I knew you'd be on the end of it! You had a better smell of the goal than me and Yakubu combined and that's a massive quality I learned.
"I was also very impressed with Steven Pienaar. He was a player I could always watch. The guy was skilful, had stamina, he worked hard - he's a player I really enjoyed to watch.
"I loved all the players I played with."
