Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

It takes a certain level of dedication to track every global icon who helped lift the English league title over the last three decades. But while the glitter of the top flight is alluring, true footballing wisdom requires a grasp of the entire pyramid and the specific battlegrounds: we've got much more for you, courtesy of Kwizly.

We’re shifting the focus from the finished product of the Premier League to the historic foundations and the literal earth beneath the players' boots. We’re asking you to demonstrate your respect for the heritage of the climb by naming every club to have ever won the English second tier, before testing your logistical memory: can you name every Premier League ground ever? It’s a rigorous test of historical depth and geographical precision that distinguishes the true groundhoppers from those who only watch the highlights.

If your expertise is more about the clinical finishers of the modern day and the heartbreaking nights of continental competition, we have two formidable hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can prove your memory for goalscoring streaks is top-tier by naming every player to have scored a Premier League hat-trick in the last 10 years, or pivot to the tactical nightmares of the past by naming every club to have knocked an English team out of Europe. From the match-ball winners of the last decade to the overseas giants who halted domestic dominance, let’s see if your footballing IQ is truly elite.

To decompress after that journey through the pyramid and the continent, find a quiet spot for FourFourTwo’s Weekend Crossword 49, featuring a nostalgic look at cities, stadios, and the legendary Invincibles.
