The midfield player, who participated in yesterday’s victory for City, loves to fish and intends to give up football when he retires.
Foden took a £14-a-day fishing vacation on the outskirts of the Cotswolds following the Euros.
The £200,000-a-week Man City player chose to spend five days fishing for carp, catfish, tench, pike, and perch with his father instead of traveling to far-flung locations like his Three Lions teammates.At Witney, Oxfordshire’s Linear Fisheries, a bystander remarked, “Phil seemed happy as Larry camped out in a modest tent,
There are some incredibly large carp in the lake, so he was determined to catch one for himself. He was quite grounded.
“The most opulent thing Phil had on his vacation was a Portaloo, while his friends from England were living it up in fancy hotels next to beaches.”
Foden was coming back from the Euros and getting ready to rejoin the City team and start the new campaign.After Jones sinks the Blues, Slot wins his first major test as Reds boss.Chelsea 2 Liverpool 1.After Jones sinks the Blues, Slot wins his first major test as Reds boss.
He enjoys fishing a lot and has posted pictures of his impressive catches on Instagram.
When he was younger, Foden began fishing with his father, Phil Senior, and commented at the time, “It’s the ideal hobby to rest your legs and have some down time.”
“Probably about 95 per cent of the football lads don’t enjoy it.
“The odd one likes fishing, so when people find out they say: ‘what a weird sport to enjoy’.
“They don’t understand why you enjoy it.
“Obviously, they need to go and try it.
“I think it’s the perfect hobby to rest your legs and have some down time.”
Foden has shared several of his top catches on social media from his trips to lakes across the UK and in Spain, which was the location of his biggest catch yet – a HUGE 130LB Catfish.
