Quiz! Can you guess the FourFourTwo cover star?
It's just over 30 years since the first issue of FourFourTwo magazine - can you name these cover stars?
How well do you know your FourFourTwo magazine covers?
Are you an avid collector with a stack as high as the ceiling in your spare room? If so, we’ve got exactly the quiz for you. Plenty of star names have adorned the front of the magazine since the first issue was published in 1994. From world-class goalkeepers to prolific strikers and even iconic managers, they’re all on show here.
Some will test your knowledge and skills of deduction more than others, and several will likely bring waves of nostalgia flooding back, particularly for those who’ve bought the magazine since their youth. There’s no time limit for this one, with 20 covers, so take your time and enjoy listing off some of football’s biggest names from yesteryear and the modern day.
Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love
Recognising the icons who have graced our front covers over the decades proves your visual memory is as sharp as a scout’s notebook. It’s one thing to identify the superstars in the glossy spotlight, but we've got more quizzes, powered by Kwizly, that move from the newsstand to the high-pressure world of elite dugouts and the historic rungs of the English pyramid.
We’re starting by examining the tactical revolving door at one of Europe’s most demanding institutions before shifting to the grit required to climb the domestic ladder. We want to see if you can separate the actual incumbents from the mere rumors by telling us whether these 20 managers have coached Bayern Munich, then pivot from the Bavarian boardroom to the very heartbeat of the English game: can you name every club to have ever won the English second tier?
If your expertise is more about the physical cathedrals of the sport and the clinical finishers who have lit them up recently, we have two high-stakes hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can put your internal GPS to work by naming every Premier League ground ever, or demonstrate your eye for modern excellence by naming every player to have scored a Premier League hat-trick in the last 10 years. From the long-forgotten stadiums of the early ‘90s to the most recent match-ball winners, it’s time to see if your footballing IQ is truly world-class and if you can recall the heroes beyond the headlines.
