LAST WEEK'S FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 22
Saturday morning is a time for lying in bed with a cuppa, the paper and a pen as you get involved with a puzzle – and that's the thinking behind FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword.
If you're on an away day today, our teaser is conveniently a lot easier to complete on public transport than leaning on a window to fill in newspaper clues, too – so let us know how you did in the comments.
Love football crosswords? Here are some handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love
Another crossword conquered. We applaud your dedication to the fine art of the puzzle, but now it’s time to move the needle back to pure, unadulterated football facts. You're in safe hands, as these next challenges are brought to you, courtesy of Kwizly, and they require a true PhD in the history of the sport.
We start with the sheer scale of the English game. If you can name every club in the top seven tiers of English football, you’ve achieved something truly special. This challenge runs deeper than the Premier League and the Championship, right down to the regional trenches where true football heritage is built.
Speaking of history, we’re asking for gold, silver, and bronze. See if you can name every Ballon d'Or top three since 1992. We follow that with a challenge that crosses borders and requires remembering both the giants and the occasional shock appointment: can you name all 22 men to manage England?
We’re rounding out this session with two tests of supreme trophy knowledge. Firstly, name every player to win both the Champions League and Europa League. They are the double-European champions, and their ranks are small. Secondly, prove your domestic domination by naming every English champion, FA Cup winner and League Cup winner.
