Love football crosswords? Here are some handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

If you've ticked that one off without too much bother, then we've got plenty more quizzes for you to tackle this weekend, courtesy of Kwizly.

We're going to start you off with quite literally the greatest players to ever play the game. That's because we want you to name FourFourTwo's 50 greatest players of all time. Then, as we get ready for the upcoming World Cup, we're looking to the Three Lions, as our next task to you is to name all 22 men to have managed the England national team.

And there's more. It's up to the north east next, where we want you to name every Newcastle United player to wear their iconic No.9 shirt. We're then taking you back to one of the greatest games in recent history which featured a stunning Barcelona comeback - so can you name the Barca XI that completed the Remontada over Paris Saint-Germain?

Finally, if your puzzle itch has still not been scratched, then have a go at FourFourTwo’s Brazilian footballers wordsearch or the Big Premier League wordsearch, which are both the perfect way to test your vision. To ensure you’re never caught out by a late tactical switch, subscribe to our newsletter for your essential afternoon briefing of curated trivia.
