Phil Foden, the talented midfielder from Manchester City, is gearing up for a monumental night as he starts for England in the Euro 2024 final. The Three Lions are determined to clinch their first-ever European Championship title and Foden is ready to give his all on the field.
Despite his impressive performance for City, Foden has faced some challenges while playing for Germany. But in the recent semi-final match against Netherlands, he showed a glimpse of his true potential and hopes to continue that form for the final game in Berlin. His contribution will be vital in England's quest for the trophy.
One thing that has caught the attention of fans is Foden's number 47 tattoo on his neck. Many are curious to know the significance behind it. As it turns out, Foden wears the number 47 shirt for Manchester City as a tribute to his late grandfather, Ronnie. The tattoo serves as a further symbol of love and remembrance for his beloved grandfather.
The number 47 holds great sentimental value for Foden as his grandfather passed away at the age of 47. Ronnie was a devoted fan of Manchester City, just like his grandson, and Foden believes he would have been proud to see him excel in the same club he loved.
Foden has been wearing the number 47 shirt since his debut in 2017. When Sergio Aguero, a club legend, left in 2021, Foden was offered the chance to switch to the iconic number 10 shirt. But he chose to stick with 47, stating that he has grown attached to it and wants to create his own legacy with that number.
In an interview, Foden revealed, "I did think about it. The number 10 shirt is a big deal at this club, but I have a special connection with 47. I want to make my own mark and keep wearing that number with pride." It is a beautiful gesture from Foden, honoring his grandfather's memory and creating his own path at Manchester City.
