BOND JAMES BOND

Spirit Yachts’ brand partnership with EON Productions, Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios (MGM), and Universal Pictures International on the James Bond films began when a Spirit 54 was chosen to feature in the 2006 film Casino Royale .

This year, Spirit Yachts returns to the big screen alongside 007 in the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die .

Casino Royale :

The scene portraying Daniel Craig and Eva Green cruising into Venice onboard a Spirit 54 is now world famous. Having been handcrafted by Spirit Yachts’ skilled team of boat-builders in Suffolk, the yacht (a 54 foot design named Spirit) was shipped to the Bahamas. From there, Spirit Yachts sailed her to Puerto Rico and through the British Virgin Islands for filming. After shooting scenes in the Caribbean, the yacht was shipped to Croatia and sailed on to Venice. During filming in Venice, the yacht’s rig was taken in and out a total of 10 times to fit under multiple canal bridges. She was the first sailing yacht to go up the Grand Canal in 300 years.

No Time To Die :

A Spirit 46 features in the James Bond film No Time To Die . Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica, where a Spirit 46 sailing yacht is featured.

Spirit Yachts CEO and Head of Design Sean McMillan commented, “ The James Bond films are a mainstay of British culture and we are honoured to be continuing our partnership with such an iconic brand.”

Sean McMillan continued, “The Spirit 46 is one of the original Spirit Yachts designs and is an example of the level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every Spirit yacht. I think the yacht suits the Bond character very well because of the combination of beauty and practicality.”

Sunken but not stirred.

Footage captured the calamitous moment that a massive superyacht named “007” sank — with five passengers inside — in Greece

The maritime disaster occurred Friday night after the 160-foot vessel, which reportedly sails under a British flag but is owned by a Swiss businessman, experienced a GPS malfunction off Kythos Island, SWNS reported. This reportedly prompted the captain to bring it closer to shore than was advisable.

As a result, the James Bond-themed luxury boat hit the rocks, and began taking on water with five passengers inside.

“In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 meters depth — and that’s how the ship got to that position,” explained a boat owner who witnessed the catastrophe.

Accompanying footage, uploaded to YouTube, shows the swanky vessel, which sports a helipad, lying half-sunken on its side around 50 feet from the nearby Kolona Beach.

Thankfully, all five passengers were rescued and transported to safety before the “007” sank. “No people were hurt,” described the aforementioned eyewitness. “The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night.”

Rescuers also erected an anti-pollution perimeter in the area, although there was reportedly “no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery,” the bystander said.

Local authorities will launch a probe into the sinking of the “007,” which was delivered in 2006 by the Bodrum-based shipyard Aegean Yacht, but whose owner remains unknown.

Along with a helipad, the superyacht reportedly boasts five cabins, including a master suite, and can reportedly sleep ten people.

This isn’t the first time a luxury vessel has visited Davy Jones’ locker of late. Last month, heart-pounding footage emerged of a 130-foot superyacht capsizing and sinking stern-first into the water off the Italian coast.

In February, a Ukrainian man was arrested for partially sinking his Russian tycoon boss’s $7.7 million luxury super yacht in Spain in protest over the Kremlin’s invasion of Ukraine.

James Bond yachts: The best boats that have welcomed 007 on board

Related articles, superyacht directory.

Gentleman spy James Bond may be known for his love of fast cars and fancy gadgets, but agent 007 has also spent a fair share of time at sea on board a number of sailing yachts, superyachts and speedboats. To celebrate the highly anticipated release of the 25th Bond film, No Time To Die , we take a look at the best boats to be featured in the movie franchise.

No Time To Die: Spirit 46

In the latest James Bond instalment, No Time To Die (2021), James Bond is seen enjoying his (temporary) retirement in Jamaica on board a 14 metre Spirit 46 sailing yacht . As well as using the yacht for a day of fishing out on the water, 007 sails her to Cuba for an undercover mission in partnership with new agent Paloma.

Built in Ipswich by British yard and official James Bond partner Spirit Yachts , the boat is a custom-made modern classic characterised by long overhangs and flush decks. She can reach 18 knots underway and acquired her “well-loved” look by forfeiting her scheduled winter refit prior to shooting, revealed Spirit Yachts CEO Sean McMillan.

Casino Royale: Soufrière

In 2006 film Casino Royale , which introduced new James Bond actor Daniel Craig, a 16.4 metre Spirit 54’ named Soufrière was used to host 007 and Bond girl Vesper Lynd (played by Eva Green) as the couple cruised through the waters of Venice in Italy. Filming took a total of six months and involved shipping and cruising the modern classic sailing yacht to various locations around the world. The yacht even made history as the first sailing yacht to go up the Venetian Grand Canal in 300 years, a process that involved removing and replacing the rig as many as 10 times to ensure the yacht could fit under multiple canal bridges in Venice.

Casino Royale: Sunseeker predator 108

In contrast to the traditional-looking Spirit 54’ used in scenes with Vesper Lynd, a speedy Sunseeker Predator 108 motor yacht is also used in the 2006 Bond film Casino Royale . The 32.92 metre motor yacht was used in the movie as the boat of Bond villain Le Chiffre. Featuring a distinctive monochromatic hull, the Sunseeker superyacht can hit top speeds of 40 knots and can accommodate up to eight guests and four crew on board.

GoldenEye: Northern Cross

In the 1995 Bond film GoldenEye , which was the first in the franchise to feature actor Pierce Brosnan as the main character, a 43.25 metre superyacht named Manticore plays a starring role. In the film, the yacht is owned by the Janus crime syndicate and is used by Bond girl Xenia Onatopp, played by actress Famke Janssen. In reality, the yacht used for the role of Manticore was actually named Northern Cross . Constructed in aluminium by Swedish shipyard Marinteknik Verkstads AB , she was delivered in 1991.

Her exterior and naval architecture were designed by Per Kavli . Her 330 GT interiors, styled by Tor Hinders , can accommodate up to 10 guests and eight crew. Under the power of two Caterpillar diesel engines, Northern Cross can reach a top speed is 24 knots and boats a cruising range of 1,800 nautical miles at a speed of 15 knots. She features a pale grey hull and and a flybridge with an al fresco lounge.

Never Say Never Again: Kingdom 5KR

In the final film to star Sean Connery as James Bond, a superyacht named Flying Saucer is used as a base for Bond villain and SPECTRE agent Maximillian Largo. In actuality, the superyacht the starred in the 1983 film Never Say Never Again was Benetti superyacht Kingdom 5KR . Measuring 85.9 metres with an interior volume of 1,768 GT, Kingdom 5KR was designed by Jon Bannenberg and delivered in 1983. Her interiors, penned by Luigi Sturchio , can accommodate up to 22 guests waited on by 31 members of crew. Once owned by former US president Donald Trump , the yacht features a distinctive turquoise stripe along her hull and boat.

James Bond-Themed Superyacht Called '007' Sinks Within Yards of Greek Beach

"In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore," a boat owner who watched the event unfold said of the captain's actions

Five passengers aboard a superyacht named in honor of British superspy James Bond had to be rescued after it capsized and began sinking yards away from a Greek beach Friday.

The 160-foot superyacht named "007" experienced a GPS malfunction around 50 feet from the beaches of Kolona Bay on the Mediterranean island of Kythnos, SWNS reported.

"They say that the captain had some depth problem and he hit the bottom," a boat owner said about the vessel's captain, per SWNS

"In trying not to be sunk, he sailed closer to shore, in less than 10 meters depth — and that's how the ship got to that position." Thankfully, nobody was hurt in the incident, added SWNS.

"The coastguard was immediately aware and sent help in the night," the local continued, per SWNS.

"Next morning they put an antipollution perimeter," the boat owner continued. "It appears there was no diesel leakage or damage to the scenery."

According to SuperYacht Times , the "007" was developed by Aegean Yachts in 2006 and can accommodate up to 10 people. It also has a steel hull and aluminum superstructure.

In true James Bond style, however, the identity of the owner has not been revealed.

The sinking of the 007 follows the demise of a 131-foot superyacht named My Saga, which capsized nine miles off the coast of Catanzaro, Italy in August.

Shocking footage released by the Italian coast guard showed the vessel sinking stern-first near the Catanzaro Marina.

According to the BBC , "the Italian coast guard rescued all nine people on board – four passengers and five crew. The outlet reported the ship was heading from Gallipoli to Milazzo.

An investigation of the incident is ongoing and it is still unclear what caused the yacht to sink.

If this were a real James Bond scenario, it would be a darn good one. A James Bond-themed superyacht, aptly called 007 and restyled to resemble something the world-famous spy would sail, has been refloated, six full months after it was intentionally run aground.

On September 2, 2022, 007 ran aground off the coast of Greece, in Kolona Bay, some 15 meters (49.2 feet) from the beach. Initial reports said that some kind of navigation error had steered the vessel off course, so it hit rocks when it entered shallow waters. The hull was pierced and it started taking on water, so, to prevent it from sinking into deeper waters, the captain ran it aground.

After that, 007 tilted to the port side and eventually capsized, ending up on its side. It spent the next six months that way, with authorities seemingly in no rush to salvage it, though they did put up floating walls to keep pollution under control. As of this moment, the exact damages to the ecosystem are unknown.

On March 6, Greek authorities began the salvage operation, which concluded on March 22, with 007 refloated. If this happened in a James Bond movie, it would probably be the scene before the end credits, and Bond himself (Bond, James Bond) would make an appearance alongside the lady of the moment, and they would kiss as the camera would zoom out on the beautiful vessel, back in an upright position.

But this is no movie, and the situation continues to remain very strange, beyond the fact that authorities waited half a year to remove a vessel that posed a danger to the picturesque area.

By the looks of things, 007 has been abandoned by the owner, a millionaire businessman who was also the captain, amid claims that he deliberately ran it aground for other reasons than those having to do with the danger of sinking. One particular report, included in the second video available at the bottom of the page, says that he did it because the ship was no longer seaworthy and may have had severe balance issues brought on by repeated modifications to the hull.

Delivered in 2006 by Aegean Yachts as Royal Enterprise, 007 was initially a 32-meter (105-foot) that was modified extensively in subsequent refits. When it ran aground, it was 49 meters (160 feet) long and featured all the trappings of larger superyachts, including a touch-and-go helipad and an additional deck that wasn’t in the original design by Yavuz Mete.

According to the latest reports in the Greek media, the millionaire owner has been given one month to recover his superyacht, now that it’s been refloated, after which he will be liable to huge fines. Whether he’s actually coming back for it, after it spent half a year half-underwater, remains to be seen

James bond movie locations around the world.

On a Tank Cruise in St. Petersburg

Russia – the tank chase locations in st. petersburg // goldeneye (1995).

The tank chase is one of the most thrilling scenes in James Bonds “GoldenEye”. Some scenes had been done on set, but most parts had been filmed on location in St. Petersburg – including some famous sights.

Why Bond was here The terrorist organization Janus steals a stealth helicopter and blows up a Soviet base up in Siberia. Bond (Pierce Brosnan) travels to St. Petersburg, where the presumed headquarter of Janus is. He encounters renegade General Ourumov (Gottfried John) – and tries to hunt him down with a stolen tank. As the tank chase goes on, Bond wrecks havoc in downtown St. Petersburg.

The tank drives through the Constitutional Court

How you gonna get there The tank chase had been filmed at two areas in the heart of the city: In the Sennaya neighbourhood and at the banks of Moyka Canal ( here you can read more about that part ). Sennaya is east of the Admiralty building. The tank chase had been filmed in front of the St. Isaac’s Cathedral, the Constitutional Court and the Main Post Office at Pochtamtskaya Street. The scene with the St. Isaac’s Cathedral is right at the beginning of the chase, Bond drives the tank along Voznesensky Avenue in front of the church. Then the scene cuts to the parts of the Moyka Canal. Later on the tank is seen driving through the big arch of the Constitutional Court. In the final scene, the tank is seen at Pochtamtskaya Street. There it drives underneath the arch of the Post Office and loses its winged statue (that it picked up at Preobrazhenskaya Square in yet another part of St. Petersburg).

The Constitutional Court nowadays

Good to know Marveling at the St. Isaac’s Cathedral, Constitutional Court and its neighboring buildings is great for an afternoon walk. Right across the Court is the Bronze Horseman – one of St Petersburgs most famous statues. It is probably the one, that inspired the Bond filming crew for the tank stunt with the winged statue. But if you are up for a real treat, go visit the world famous Mariinsky Theatre. It is one of worlds best known opera houses and hosts a ballet class that is just as outstanding as the famous Bolshoi in Moscow. We were at the Mariinsky for the famous Russian ballet “The Story of Kai and Gerda”, which you might know as “The Snow Queen”. It was a great evening!

  We treated ourselves with ballet at the world famous Mariinsky Theatre today! #MariinskyTheatre #StPetersburg #MariinskyBallet Ein Beitrag geteilt von Julia Nikschick/Marc Röhlig (@huntingbond) am Dez 30, 2017 um 9:40 PST

When you plan on visiting the Mariinsky in St. Petersburg, try to book tickets in advance. The Russians are proud ballet goes – so shows might be sold out months ahead. Also dress accordingly: You don’t need to impress – but don’t just wear normal street style either. The Russians take their ballet serious and will come in style.

Filming “GoldenEye” in St. Petersburg

The 1995 film “GoldenEye” marked the return of James Bond to the silver screen after a six-year hiatus. St. Petersburg, with its picturesque landscapes and historic architecture, provided the perfect backdrop for the movie’s action-packed scenes. Several notable filming locations in the city include:

Winter Palace and Hermitage Museum : One of St. Petersburg’s most iconic landmarks, the Winter Palace, served as the exterior of the Russian State Archives in the film. Bond enthusiasts can still visit this grand museum and relive the espionage moments.

St. Petersburg Grand Hotel Europe : This luxurious hotel featured prominently in “GoldenEye” during a pivotal scene. It remains a top-notch accommodation option for Bond fans looking to experience a touch of 007’s world.

Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood : While not featured in the film, this stunning cathedral is a must-visit for its remarkable architecture and historical significance.

Bridges over the Neva River : Several of St. Petersburg’s iconic bridges, such as the Trinity Bridge and the Palace Bridge, were showcased in adrenaline-pumping chase sequences, thrilling both Bond and movie audiences alike.

Unraveling the Plot: “GoldenEye” Overview

In “GoldenEye,” James Bond, portrayed by Pierce Brosnan, must prevent a catastrophic cyber-attack that could plunge the world into chaos. The plot revolves around the theft of the powerful GoldenEye satellite weapon by the villainous Alec Trevelyan, a former MI6 agent. As Bond ventures to St. Petersburg, he uncovers a web of intrigue, encounters formidable foes, and engages in high-speed pursuits through the city’s streets and waterways.

St. Petersburg: The Spy’s Playground

Beyond its appearance in “GoldenEye,” St. Petersburg holds a fascinating history and numerous attractions that make it a true spy’s playground:

St. Petersburg: A Tapestry of History, Culture, and Grandeur

St. Petersburg’s history is as captivating as its picturesque landscape. Founded in 1703 by Tsar Peter the Great, the city holds a legacy of imperial grandeur and cultural significance. Serving as the imperial capital for over two centuries, St. Petersburg witnessed the rise and fall of dynasties, the splendor of tsars, and the turbulence of revolutions. Its strategic location on the Baltic Sea facilitated trade and cultural exchanges with Europe, fostering a cosmopolitan atmosphere that continues to define the city today. Over the years, St. Petersburg has evolved into a vibrant metropolis, showcasing a remarkable blend of architectural styles, from Baroque and Neoclassical to Soviet and contemporary designs. This city’s rich history unfolds through its grand palaces, majestic cathedrals, and world-renowned museums, making it a living testament to Russia’s past and a destination that enchants visitors with its timeless charm.

1. What are some other famous James Bond filming locations in Russia besides St. Petersburg?

While St. Petersburg showcased its charm in “GoldenEye,” there are other iconic Bond filming locations in Russia worth exploring. One notable site is Moscow, the country’s capital, which appeared in “From Russia with Love” (1963) and “A View to a Kill” (1985). The iconic KGB headquarters in “GoldenEye” was shot in London, but for an authentic Russian experience, consider visiting Kazan, where scenes from “Quantum of Solace” (2008) were filmed. These destinations not only provide a glimpse into Bond’s world but also offer a chance to appreciate Russia’s diverse landscapes and cultural heritage.

2. Can visitors access the Winter Palace, the filming location of the Russian State Archives in “GoldenEye”?

Yes, visitors can access the Winter Palace, which now serves as part of the State Hermitage Museum. This historical and cultural treasure is open to the public and welcomes tourists from around the world. Inside, you can explore a vast collection of art and artifacts, including works by Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, and Michelangelo. Walking through the halls and rooms of the Winter Palace, visitors can relive the excitement of Bond’s daring mission as they envision the espionage scenes that once unfolded in this grand setting.

3. Are there guided tours that specifically focus on James Bond filming locations in St. Petersburg?

Indeed, there are specialized guided tours that cater to James Bond enthusiasts and film lovers alike. These tours take participants on an exciting journey to various filming locations used in “GoldenEye.” Knowledgeable guides share behind-the-scenes stories, fun facts about the movie’s production, and anecdotes about the actors and crew. Additionally, the tours often include visits to other popular landmarks in St. Petersburg, providing a well-rounded experience of the city’s rich history and culture.

4. How does St. Petersburg celebrate its connection to the James Bond franchise?

St. Petersburg takes pride in its association with the James Bond franchise, and fans can find nods to 007 scattered throughout the city. Some hotels offer themed packages that include tours to Bond filming locations and even special screenings of the movie. Additionally, some bars and restaurants might have Bond-inspired cocktails and dishes on their menus. Visitors might also spot street art or murals paying tribute to the iconic spy. The city’s bond with Bond remains strong, making it an exciting destination for fans of the franchise.

5. Can tourists visit the Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood, even though it didn’t appear in “GoldenEye”?

Absolutely! The Church of Our Savior on Spilled Blood is one of St. Petersburg’s most beloved attractions and is open to tourists throughout the year. This breathtaking cathedral is renowned for its intricate mosaic work and elaborate architecture. Built on the site where Emperor Alexander II was assassinated, the church holds historical significance and is a testament to Russia’s artistic heritage. A visit to this spectacular monument is a must, allowing travelers to appreciate the city’s rich history beyond its connection to James Bond.

6. What is the best time of year to visit St. Petersburg for a James Bond-themed adventure?

The best time to visit St. Petersburg for a James Bond-themed adventure depends on personal preferences and weather preferences. Summers (June to August) offer pleasant weather and longer daylight hours, making it ideal for exploring the city’s outdoor attractions and filming locations. However, summers also see an influx of tourists, so be prepared for larger crowds. Spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) offer milder weather and fewer crowds, allowing for a more relaxed experience. If you prefer a winter wonderland, visiting from December to February allows you to witness the city blanketed in snow, providing a different kind of Bond atmosphere.

7. Are there any James Bond-themed events or festivals in St. Petersburg?

While St. Petersburg doesn’t host dedicated James Bond-themed events year-round, the city occasionally celebrates the iconic spy during film festivals or special occasions. For example, during the release of a new Bond film or milestone anniversary of the franchise, some cinemas may organize themed screenings or events. Furthermore, St. Petersburg’s vibrant arts and culture scene often hosts film festivals, where classic Bond films might be featured. Keep an eye on local event listings to catch any Bond-related activities during your visit.

8. Is it possible to take a boat tour similar to the one James Bond embarked on in “GoldenEye”?

Absolutely! Visitors to St. Petersburg can take scenic boat tours along the Neva River and its various canals, much like James Bond did in “GoldenEye.” These boat tours offer a unique perspective of the city, allowing you to admire its stunning architecture from the water. Some boat tours also include themed experiences, where guides share trivia and anecdotes related to Bond’s time in the city, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans.

9. Are there any lesser-known attractions in St. Petersburg that James Bond fans would enjoy?

Beyond the popular filming locations, St. Petersburg hides some lesser-known attractions that James Bond fans would appreciate. The Cruiser Aurora, a retired warship, played a significant role in the 1917 October Revolution and can be explored at the Petrogradskaya Embankment. Additionally, the Smolenskoye Cemetery holds the final resting place of many notable figures, including the famous Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. Exploring these hidden gems allows visitors to delve deeper into the city’s history and gain a broader understanding of its cultural heritage.

10. Are there any special restrictions or guidelines for visiting James Bond filming locations in St. Petersburg?

While most filming locations in St. Petersburg are accessible to the public, some places may have certain restrictions or guidelines. For instance, if a location is part of a functioning establishment (like a hotel or museum), visitors are expected to follow the respective rules and regulations. Additionally, during guided tours, visitors are typically required to stay with the group and adhere to the guide’s instructions. It’s essential to be respectful of the locations and any specific guidelines in place to ensure that these places remain open for future Bond fans to enjoy.

Man Utd's Alejandro Garnacho sparks Phil Foden jokes after posting 007 boat photo on Mykonos holiday

• Garnacho snares holiday snaps
• Argentinian went to Greece
• Man Utd fans poke fun at Foden

WHAT HAPPENED?

While holidaying on the Greek island of Mykonos with girlfriend Eva Garcia and infant son Enzo, Garnacho shared an image of the family on a yacht complete with James Bond's 007 logo. United supporters quickly noticed the numbers were representative of Foden's stats at the Euros - zero goals and zero assists in seven games - and set about mocking the Manchester City star.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

@RMAzeus wrote on X: "Garnacho and Foden 🤩🤩"

@andileofficial0 added: "Why's garnacho chilling with foden?"

@ UTDTrey put: "Why's Foden on vacation with Garnacho?"

From @cagiago_: "Oi Garnacho linked up with Foden 😭"

@Utdwassaa said: "This foden and garnacho link up so random”

You get the point.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The long and short of it is in seven appearances for England during the tournament, Foden managed zero goals and zero assists . That is despite being Gareth Southgate's preferred outlet on the left initially, and then as a doubled-pronged number 10 duo alongside Jude Bellingham.

Both players will be among the last to return to their respective clubs for pre-season. Garnacho was part of the Argentina squad that won the Copa America on the same day, July 14, as Foden played for England in the Euro 2024 final. United and City will meet in the Community Shield at Wembley on August 10, the first time they have faced each other in the curtain raiser since 2011.

Garnacho ‘MOCKS’ Foden with 007 photo

Manchester United fans have poked fun at Phil Foden after Alejandro Garnacho was pictured on holiday next to a 007 logo.

United star Garnacho is on holiday on the Greek island of Mykonos with girlfriend Eva Garcia and their son Enzo.

One image has gone viral in which Garnacho is pictured on a yacht next to James Bond’s 007 logo.

Man Utd fans took to social media to suggest that Garnacho was mocking Foden for his dismal performances at Euro 2024.

Despite being named Premier League Player of the Season, Foden endured a dismal Euro 2024 for England as he scored no goals and delivered no assists in seven matches.

This led to Foden being labelled as 007 - zero goals, zero assists, seven games.

While it is unlikely that Garnacho intended to mock Foden, the picture certainly didn’t stop United fans from doing so.

Garnacho at Man Utd

The 20-year-old Garnacho has been one of the few bright lights of Erik ten Hag’s tenure at Manchester United.

He was one of the breakout stars in the Premier League in 2022-23, making eight goal contributions from 10 starts and 29 appearances.

He had a string of memorable performances, including the winner against Real Sociedad in the Europa League which made him the youngest foreign player to ever score for Man Utd in European competition.

Garnacho broke a string of records, and also starred in the Manchester derby, assisting Marcus Rashford’s winner in the 2-1 victory over Man City .

This past season Garnacho continued to impress, with 10 goals in all competitions. He scored in the 2-1 FA Cup final win over Man City, hit a memorable brace in the 4-3 victory over Chelsea and scored the goal of the season with a stunning bicycle kick against Everton.

Alejandro Garnacho sparks Phil Foden jokes after 007 boat photo in Mykonos

Observant Manchester United fans online didn’t waste the opportunity to poke fun at Man City’s Phil Foden after Alejandro Garnacho’s 007 Instagram post.

Garnacho has been keeping his followers up to date on his travels after competing in the Copa America.

The talented winger was part of the Argentina side that won the tournament outright, winning their third consecutive major international tournament (Copa America x2 & World Cup).

While holidaying on the Greek island of Mykonos with girlfriend Eva Garcia and son Enzo, Garnacho shared several images of the family, including one on a yacht featuring James Bond’s 007 logo.

United supporters were impressively quick to notice the numbers were representative of Foden’s stats at Euro 2024 – zero goals and zero assists in seven games. They used this as bait to joke about the City midfielder.

A lot of the jokes on X point to how Foden appears to be on holiday with Garnacho, and we are certain that the United forward will find it funny once he’s aware of the 007 reference and Foden’s stats this summer.

Why’s Foden on vacation with Garnacho? https://t.co/O1duWReARR — Trey (@UTDTrey) July 22, 2024

What is Foden doing with Garnacho and his family on vacation? https://t.co/dpdw8iCu4F — BASH-AAR 🔞 (@FaruqBashar) July 22, 2024

This foden and garnacho link up so random pic.twitter.com/xnC1b1DF7w — Casey (@Utdwassaa) July 22, 2024

Despite his poor showing at the European Championship, Foden was Gareth Southgate’s preferred outlet on the left initially, and then as a double-pronged number 10 duo alongside Jude Bellingham.

Both players will face each other in the Community Shield at Wembley on August 10. That promises to be a fantastic day out at Wembley.
