How the Phil Foden quiz is checked

Every question above was written by hand and verified before it went live.

All 25 Phil Foden questions were checked twice before publication — once against the claim the question makes, and once against the wrong answers offered beside it. A question whose wrong options can be dismissed without knowing any football is not really a question, so those get rewritten or dropped rather than padded out. Anything that could not be confirmed was removed rather than guessed, which is why some sets are smaller than others. Every one of them carries a written explanation. Spot something wrong and tell us — corrections from players are how the bank stays accurate.

About the Phil Foden quiz

Phil Foden is the rarest thing in modern football: a local boy who stayed. This free Foden quiz covers the whole arc from Stockport to the Etihad — the Manchester City academy years, the Premier League debut against Tottenham in December 2017, the first senior goal away at Oxford United in the EFL Cup, and the 2023 treble.

Two of the sharper questions hinge on the same opponent twice: his Premier League debut and his first Premier League goal both came against Spurs, sixteen months apart. That kind of detail is where the quiz gets genuinely hard.

There is a running thread about the number 47 as well — the shirt he has worn since the first team, and kept when Sergio Aguero offered him the 10 on his way out in 2021.

Every answer is explained. No sign-up, nothing to install, and the Manchester City and Premier League quizzes go wider when you are done.
