Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

You’ve proved you can name the nations, the managers, and the players who dominate the global game. Now, as your international focus naturally narrows, we’ve got a selection of highly specific challenges, delivered to you, courtesy of Kwizly, that will truly test your knowledge of club cults, Premier League icons, and the decade of excess spending.

We start by asking you to look closely at two very different types of icon. First, test your observational skills and see if you can name these players from a LEGO picture? It's a fun test of caricature recognition. Then, dive into the records of one of the world's most electrifying stars: how much do you know about Liverpool hero Mohamed Salah?

Next up, a challenge of Geordie heritage. The number nine shirt at St James' Park is sacred, and we want you to name every Newcastle United player to wear the no.9 shirt. From the early Premier League legends to the modern heroes, this quiz is a true test of Tyneside knowledge. Can you remember everyone who had the honour of wearing that famous jersey?

Finally, we are going to talk money, big money, and lots of it. Cast your mind back to the decade of the noughties and name the five biggest transfer fees for every year of the 2000s. And for a change of pace, we’ve got your weekly puzzle fix ready: FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 22, featuring clues on Ballon d'Ors, badges and 10/10s.
