The meteoric rise to footballing stardom experienced by Phil Foden and his family has, however, brought about significant changes in their lives.

And the next day, people all throughout the country would get together in the hopes and prayers that his scintillating talent will be enough to propel the Three Lions into the quarterfinals of the World Cup.

Foden, or “Ronnie” as he is universally known to family and friends, is widely considered to be the most complete English footballer of his generation. His wages at Manchester City have recently been increased to in excess of £200,000 a week, making him one of the highest-paid players at the club.

Manchester City player Phil Foden (left) – or ‘Ronnie’ as he is universally known to family and friends – lives in a mansion worth £2.85 million with his partner Rebecca Cooke, 21, as well as his son and daughter.

This kind of riches has allowed the 22-year-old to purchase a home for his family in the picturesque English village of Pretbury that costs three million pounds and has six bedrooms and eight bathrooms.

In addition to this, earlier this year, he and his partner Rebecca Cooke, 21, moved into their own £2.85 million mansion just down the road, together with his son Ronnie, who is three, and their daughter, who is one.

It’s a far cry from the days when Foden was a football-obsessed young boy kicking his ball in the street where he lived in Edgeley with his parents, Phil and Claire, and his elder brother Callum. Those days seem like a lifetime ago.

 

Indeed, his expanding money has also made a difference in his paternal grandmother Mary’s life. He was able to buy Mary, who is 61 years old, a £200,000 bay-fronted home just up the road from where he grew up. This enabled him to make Mary’s life much more comfortable.

She was the one who first called him “Ronnie,” naming him “Ronnie Roundhead” owing to the shape of his head. He got the nickname “Ronnie” from her. And the passing away of her lover, Foden’s granddad Walter when he was 47 years old inspired his Manchester City quad number. Foden, who also has four younger siblings, clearly places a high value on family, and he continues to be proud of the “tockport root” he comes from.

He spent his childhood in a modest end-terrace home in Stockport, England, which was “squeezed alongside a parade of nondescript takeaway” and “beauty alone.”

He has also mentioned that he has the “obligation” to use the money he makes to compensate his parents for the support they have given him. In an interview with the most recent issue of Esquire magazine, Foden encapsulated the reason for his success both on and off the field by saying, “I wanted to be able to look after my family.” This was Foden’s explanation for his success both on and off the field.

It’s odd that Phil Sr., who is 43 years old and a fan of Manchester United, is now managing his son’s career, but it’s his mother, who is also 43 years old, who is credited with helping to keep the young superstar grounded. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph from the previous year, he described how his upbringing consisted of having “no game, no toy, nothing, just a football.” He called himself “the cheapest kid ever.” Back in Edgeley, he would continually practice from the minute he learned how to walk, whether it was in the living room, the back garden, or the parking park a few doors away from his family house opposite a bookmaker’s.

scouted by Manchester City when he was young, he made his way through their academy and made his debut with the club when he was 17 years old in 2017.

He has now scored 31 goals for the club while making 111 appearances in the Premier League. And over the course of the next two weeks, he is hoping to add to his total of 20 senior England caps and three goals. In spite of their celebrity status, Foden and Mia Cooke continue to be well known in the Edgeley area, where they frequently travel to see family and friends.

“He’s never Phil Foden to you; he’s always “Ronnie,” said Colette Haworth, 28, landlady of the Royal Oak bar. “Ronnie” is his nickname for everyone. You may frequently see him walking down the precinct either pushing a stroller or carrying a bottle of wine and a takeout order.

On social media, comparisons have been formed between Phil Foden and a cat that has been given the nickname “Phil Fur-den” due to the cat’s grumpy appearance. Phil Foden has been called Phil Fur-den.

“People around here are very proud of how he stayed so close to his roots,” said the speaker. “He still comes into the hop with his girlfriend, he’s really down-to-earth – he takes his kid to the park over the road, and he goes fishing in the local lake,” said local bartender Harih Panchani, who is 54 years old.

“How many other top footballers are there about whom you can say that?” Mr. Panchani further elaborated, saying, “The whole family are just decent people, and I’m sure the way he’s still rooted in the community is a big part of how he’s handled becoming so famous.”

His previous coach, Steve Eyre, had this to say about him: “I believe he is on course to one day being the best player in the world.” The pastime of fishing is a third recurrent subject in Foden’s life, in addition to football and his family.

Because he was on a fishing trip with his father, he was unable to attend the celebrations held by the City players after they won the Premier League in 2018. He went on to explain that it was beneficial for “clearing your head after you’ve had a bad game.” The demands of football and fatherhood leave him with very little time for his hobby during the day.

 

 

Nevertheless, Foden remained loyal to his fishing friend Paul Adrian, who received a call from Foden following his nation-leading effort against Wale on Tuesday. Foden’s contact came after Foden’s game. “He was on Cloud Nine,” Mr. Adrian, 50, who was speaking from his tackle shop in Droylsden, Manchester, explained. “He was just really upbeat and excited because it was obviously his first World Cup goal,” the commentator said.

The attention of the entire world will be focused on the young man from Stockport when he competes in the first knockout round in Qatar tomorrow against Senegal. His loved ones, along with millions of other people all around the country, will be cheering for him.
