Phil Foden honors late grandfather with number 47 shirt and tattoo

Phil Foden wears the number 47 shirt for Manchester City as a tribute to his late grandfather, Ronnie, who passed away at 47. Despite being offered the iconic number 10 by Sergio Aguero, Foden chose to keep 47 to honor his family legacy. Foden also has a tattoo of the number 47 behind his ear, symbolizing his strong connection to his roots. He has expressed a desire to create his own legacy with this number, rather than adopting a more traditional one. While Foden has achieved significant success with Manchester City, including multiple Premier League titles, he wears different numbers for the England national team due to limited squad numbers. His commitment to number 47 remains steadfast.
