LAST WEEK'S FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 59
We've all seen these puzzles in newspapers and on apps: you fill in your first clue and you have a letter or two for the second. But what if each of the teasers referred to something in the football word?

If you're not done quizzing just yet, we're demanding you dial in on the prestige of the Golden Players and the massive financial machines that drive the modern game. It’s a tactical shift from general knowledge to the specific heritage of UEFA’s member nations and the high-stakes boardroom battles of the transfer market, courtesy of Kwizly.
We’re beginning with an audit of the absolute elite who have been immortalised by their home nations. We want you to demonstrate your continental depth by naming all 52 of the UEFA Jubilee Awards' Golden Players, a list that spans the greatest icons of the last 50 years across every association. Once you’ve honoured the individuals, it’s time to look at the trophy cabinets they helped build: can you name the 10 most successful clubs in each of Europe's top five leagues?
Name the 50 biggest-spending managers ever, if you can next, or see if you can track the specific geometry of a player's career by naming all these players who share three of the same clubs. From the Special One’s transfer budget to the unique bond between players who keep ending up in the same dressing rooms, let’s see if your footballing IQ can handle the complexities of the professional circuit.
