Love football crosswords? Here are some handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love
Crossword done: now you can get on with your weekend… or do some more quizzes? We've got a fresh tactical board that ranges from the one-hit wonders of the national team to the legendary status of one of Anfield’s greatest kings, courtesy of Kwizly.
We’re starting with a test of your internal compass and your memory of the niche characters who graced the Three Lions shirt. We want you to prove your geographical depth by naming every English county to have a club in the 92, a task that rewards those who have spent their weekends traversing the country’s various divisions. Once you’ve mapped the land, pivot to a statistical gauntlet that rewards those who remember the unexpected cameos: can you name every player with exactly one England goal since 2000?
After tackling the outliers, it’s time to pay homage to a modern titan and see exactly how much you know about Liverpool hero Mohamed Salah. Then, we're seeing if you can demonstrate your command of the league’s international era by naming every overseas player to have won the Premier League, covering every icon from the pioneers of the early 90s to the latest arrivals in 2026.
To decompress from that, see if you can master FourFourTwo's Brazilian footballers wordsearch or hunt down the names in our Big Premier League wordsearch.
