He was raised in a humble end-terrace home in Stockport that was tucked up next to a string of unremarkable takeaways and beauty parlours.

But the England winger and his family’s lives have completely changed as a result of Phil Foden’s quick ascent to football celebrity.

And tomorrow, the country will come together to pray and hope that his brilliant talent may propel the Three Lions into the World Cup quarterfinals.

As the most complete English football player of his generation, Foden, often known as “Ronnie” to family and friends, just had his salary at Manchester City tripled to more than £200,000 per week.

The ubiquitously known Manchester City star Phil Foden to family and friends resides in a £2.85 million property with his partner Rebecca Cooke, their daughter and son.

Thanks to his money, the family of the 22-year-old was able to buy a gated mansion in the quaint Cheshire village of Prestbury for £3 million.

Furthermore, in early 2022, he and his partner Rebecca Cooke, 22, along with their one-year-old daughter and three-year-old son, Ronnie, moved into their own £2.85 million home next door.

Three years ago, Phil and his partner Rebecca moved into the peaceful village.

Foden has come a long way from his early years, when he was a little youngster obsessed with football and used to play in Edgeley Street with his older brother Callum and parents Phil Sr. and Claire.

His increasing wealth has had an impact on Mary, his paternal grandmother, as he was able to give her a £200,000 bay-front mansion a short distance from his childhood. Mary is 61 years old.

She was the one who first called him “Ronnie,” referring to his head shape as “Ronnie Roundhead.” And the inspiration behind Foden’s Man City squad number came from the 1947 passing of his grandfather, Walter, who was her companion. Foden, who also has four younger siblings, is obviously very attached to his family, and he is still proud of his Stockport heritage.

Scouted by Man City as a youngster, Foden worked his way through their academy and made his debut in 2017, aged 17

He was raised in a humble end-terrace home in Stockport that was tucked up next to a string of unremarkable takeaways and beauty parlours.

He has also mentioned that he feels “pressured” to utilise his money to pay back his parents for their financial assistance. Foden summarised the reasons for his success both on and off the pitch in an interview with last month’s Esquire magazine, saying, “I wanted to be able to look after my family.”

Ironically, Phil Sr., 43, who supports Manchester United, is now in charge of his son’s career management, while his mother, 43, is recognised for keeping the budding superstar grounded. She told The Daily Telegraph last year that he was “the cheapest kid ever,” saying that all he had as a child was a football and no games or toys. From the time he could walk, he would practice endlessly back in Edgeley, whether it was in the living room, the backyard, or the parking lot across from his family’s house and the bookshop.

Early on, Man City noticed him, and when he progressed through their system, he made his debut in 2017 at the age of 17.

Phil Foden scored twice in the championship game and was awarded player of the tournament to help his u17s team win the 2017 World Cup.

Despite his celebrity status, Foden and Miss Cooke are still a common sight in Edgeley, frequently visiting friends and family.

The 28-year-old landlord of the Royal Oak bar, Colette Haworth, said, “He’s never Phil Foden to us, he’s always “Ronnie.” “He frequently strolls along the precinct pulling a stroller or holds a bottle of wine and a takeaway.

On social media, Phil Foden and an ill-looking cat that goes by the moniker Phil Fur-den have been compared.

“The locals are quite proud of him for staying true to his roots.” “He still comes into the shop with his girlfriend; he’s really down-to-earth – he takes his kids to the park over the road and goes fishing in the local lake,” said local shopkeeper Harish Panchani, 54.

“About how many elite football players can you say that?” “The whole family are just decent people,” Mr. Panchani continued. “I’m sure a big part of how he’s handled becoming so famous is the way he’s still so rooted in the community.”

“I think he’s on course to be the best player in the world one day,” said Steve Eyre, his previous coach. A third constant thread in Foden’s life is his love of fishing, along with football and family.

He was unable to attend the City players’ 2018 Premier League championship celebrations because he had an earlier scheduled fishing trip with his father. It’s good for clearing your head, he commented after a bad game. Due to his football and parental responsibilities, he now has less time for the pastime.

But Foden still has a strong loyalty to his fishing buddies, like Paul Adrian, who Foden called following his incredible performance against Wales on Tuesday. Mr. Adrian, 50, stated, “He was on Cloud Nine,” from his tackle store in Droylsden, Manchester. “He was incredibly happy and enthusiastic since it was evidently his first World Cup goal.”
