Phil Foden has become one of Manchester City’s most reliable players and is expected to play for the England national team in Euro 2024. With 263 appearances and 82 goals to his name, he has chosen to wear the number 47, which has special significance to him. This particular number represents the age his grandad was when he passed away, and Foden has fond memories of their time together. Upon sharing his desire to wear this number with his dad, he received his blessing and has grown attached to it, even getting it tattooed on himself.

Foden hopes to leave his mark and be remembered by this unique shirt number at Manchester City. Despite being offered the coveted No.10 shirt at Manchester City following Sergio Aguero’s departure, Foden elected to continue with the No.47. He expressed his attachment to the number, emphasizing his desire to create his own legacy. In the current season, Foden’s performance has been impressive, with 22 goals and 10 assists in 46 matches across all competitions for City.
