two left feet
A alguien que se le llama pata dura es por que no puede bailar. No se si eso haga sentido en este contexto. A lo mejor lo que propone Dariusz encaja mas.
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Ernesto Coppola
: Si, en el contexto de un deporte cualquiera se suele escuchar esa frase, en especial en fútbol. Hace referencia a alguien que no es bueno para ese deporte justamente.

: There are too many left-footed geniuses in football for this to work. More of a dancing expression.

Note from asker:
| Yea, right. This is what I put down and it perfectly fits, but you know, I was wondering if there a more or less transparent term... |

useless/worthless piece of @#$%^&*
El término patadura es muy utilizado cuando se habla de fútbol, para decir que un jugador no sirve para nada.
Por eso yo agregaría 'useless' o 'worthless', para enfatizar esa condición de mal jugador (y consecuentemente un pedazo de !@#$%^&*, claro)

Spanish term (edited):
pata dura de mierda
flat-footed turd on the turf
Perhaps the whole expression needs including to capture the true flavo(u)r.
