Outside Left

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vittorio Pozzo’s Metodo system from the 1930s was one of the many variants of 2-3-5 formation which featured attacking wingers

Outside left is a position in football which refers to a footballer who plays as a forward on the left wing, typically as part of a 2-3-5 formation in one of other of its variants. As football tactics have developed, and wingers have become midfielders, the terminology has changed and “outside left” has become a historical term.

Famous players who played outside left include Eric Brook, Cliff Bastin and Willie Johnson.
