Foden spends time away from football with 'weird' hobby most fans don't enjoy

Phil Foden may be known for his work on the pitch, but the England winger says he also makes time for a hobby he once called “weird.” The 26-year-old enjoys fishing, often going to a lake to relax, and he credits learning the pastime with his dad. Foden described it as “perfect” for resting his legs and getting downtime as a professional footballer, including a 2020 comment about how people find the sport unusual. He skipped Manchester City’s 2018 title celebrations to fish with his father, and the pair have traveled around the UK and even to Spain together.
