England ace Phil Foden has made the No47 shirt his own, despite the unusual number usually being reserved for players in the academy or lower down the footballing pyramid
Phil Foden opened up about the sentimental reason behind his choice to wear the No 47 shirt for Manchester City.
Unlike most players who opt for a traditional number when moving from the academy to the first team, Phil decided to keep his original City number."Being a young player you don't have many options when it comes to what you can have on your shirt," he shared with the Daily Mail. "I had a few numbers sent to me and none of them really meant anything to me apart from that one, the 47.
"It's nice to make your own legacy. It's a strange number nobody else will go for so hopefully in years to come when I have finished, 47 at City will be remembered for Phil Foden."
