QUIZ Can you name all 22 men to manage England?

The two big players who defined our era have both left Europe: a time has come to an end, and now, with the 2020s well underway and roaring, we wonder who the next GOATs will be, whether someone will go onto surpass the greats that we already know and have adored for so long.

In 2022, FourFourTwo compiled the definitive list of all-time greats for the magazine. But can you remember who we chose? We've given you the nationality of 50 players and the years in which they played football. Let's see how many you get in 10 minutes…

Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

Your mind is now clearly sharp enough for the next phase of the challenge, a collection of trivia brought to you, courtesy of Kwizly, that will truly separate the football purist from the... well, from everyone else. This time, we’re asking you to recall everything from club legends to the background beat of the beautiful game.

We’ll kick off with a quiz that requires an ear for the game as much as an eye for the data. See if you can name every artist/band to have appeared more than once on the FIFA/EA Sports FC soundtrack. Once you’ve proven your music credentials, we move to Old Trafford to name Manchester United's 20 all-time Premier League scorers. This is a roll-call of Red Devils royalty, from the iconic no.7s to the clinical centre-forwards.

Next up, a dip into international football history, demanding you cast your mind across decades of tournaments. Try to name every nation to have reached an international semi-final. This includes the World Cup, the Euros, and the Copa America, so it's a geographically challenging quiz that will truly test your worldwide knowledge of the sport’s major events.

Finally, see if you can name every PFA Young Player of the Year in the Premier League era – and for a change of pace, we’ve still got the crossword: FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 21, featuring clues on No.6s, Italian midfielders and one-cap wonders.
