A tribute to his late grandfather
By [Your Name]
Manchester City and England star Phil Foden wears the number 47 shirt as a permanent tribute to his late grandfather, Ronnie. Foden's grandfather passed away at the age of 47, and the number has since become a special symbol for the player.
Foden has the number 47 tattooed on his neck, and he has also had it shaved into his hair in the past. He said that wearing the number is a way for him to keep his grandfather's memory alive.
"My grandad was a massive City fan and he used to take me to games all the time," Foden said. "He passed away when I was 18, but I still think about him every day. Wearing the number 47 is my way of honoring him and keeping his memory alive."
Foden's grandfather was a big influence on his life, and he said that he owes his success to him. "He was the one who got me into football and he always believed in me," Foden said. "I'm so grateful for everything he did for me, and I'm proud to wear the number 47 in his honor."
