Saturday morning means one thing.
No, not have a lay-in and checking what football to watch for the day – although, yes, that’s true – but also FourFourTwo Weekend Crossword, in which we give you a blank grid with some clues about the beautiful game and ask you to answer them all as quickly as possible.
If you’ve never had a go before, it’s really easy (sometimes): so tell us how you found it in the comments.
Cracking a crossword is the ultimate test of lateral thinking, but once you’ve untangled those cryptic clues, it’s time to move from the dictionary to the dugout. While crosswords reward a broad vocabulary, these quizzes – also powered Kwizly – reward a deep, obsessive knowledge of the Premier League’s most prestigious records and individual legacies.
We’re starting with the heavy hitters: the players who turned excellence into a habit. We want to see if you can identify the most decorated icons by naming every player to have won four or more Premier League titles, before switching the focus to the clinical finishers: can you name every player to score 20+ goals in a Premier League season? It’s a test of sustained dominance and high-pressure output that separates the genuine historians from those who only watch the season-ending highlight reels.
If your expertise is more about the tactical evolution of the game and the legendary dream teams of the past, we have two formidable hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can prove your knowledge of career transitions by naming every man to have played and managed in the Premier League, or take on the ultimate debate by naming every Premier League winners’ all-time XI. From the stars who swapped the captain’s armband for a suit to the definitive lineups of the title-winning giants, let’s see if your footballing IQ remains world-class when the focus shifts to legacy and leadership.
