We recently collaborated with our client Manchester City and British GQ to set up an interview with Stockport’s finest export, Phil Foden...

In an in-depth interview captured at North Reddish Working Men’s Club, only a stone’s throw away from where he honed his trade as a youngster, Phil reflected on the ‘24/’25 season — revealing how fishing, fatherhood, and perspective are helping him navigate the highs and lows of football.

From sharing his passion for angling to raising three young children, the piece offers a refreshing, human side to one of football’s most talked-about talents.

A huge thanks to the team at British GQ – Mike Christensen for the wonderful words and Niall Hodson for the incredible photography (nobody could have planned the cat appearance!) – and of course to Manchester City for their ongoing trust and partnership.
