A new daily soccer trivia game called TopClubTen has emerged, inviting fans to test their knowledge of the Premier League’s biggest clubs each day. The concept was dreamed up by Nathan Sherzer, a 42‑year‑old Liverpool supporter who grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut, and it draws on the structure of the former game show Tenable while echoing the energy of Family Feud.
Each round presents ten answers linked to player statistics, recent form, or historical significance, and correct guesses move a virtual board forward, creating a simple yet addictive loop. The initial lineup focuses on six clubs — Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United — but Sherzer has said the scope will broaden as the game matures.
Sherzer’s aim is to spark an ‘aha!’ moment by pulling fans back into moments they thought they’d forgotten, whether it’s a player’s iconic hairstyle, a manager’s tactical shift, or a surprising statistical tidbit. Questions often zero in on how certain stars performed under specific managers; for example, Arsenal fans might be asked about Dennis Bergkamp, Thierry Henry or Patrick Vieira during the Arsène Wenger era.
Reviving Forgotten Moments
The game’s creator points to his own three‑decade fandom as the wellspring of inspiration, citing names such as Stan Collymore, Robbie Fowler, David James, Sami Hyypia, and the entire pantheon of Liverpool legends that populate his memory. By weaving together statistics, managerial eras, and iconic appearances, TopClubTen does more than quiz; it celebrates the cultural moments that have shaped the Premier League’s identity.
Warwick Davis, who hosted the original Tenable, is referenced only as a nod to the show’s legacy, while the real star is the community of fans who now have a reason to revisit classic matches and player stories. The game’s format borrows the ten‑answer structure from Tenable, but it adds a football twist that feels both familiar and fresh.
A Nostalgic Daily Challenge
Beyond nostalgia, Sherzer envisions TopClubTen becoming a daily ritual for football enthusiasts, a platform where the past and present intersect to keep the sport’s rich tapestry alive. As the player base grows, the hope is that each ‘aha!’ will not only delight the individual but also reinforce a shared love for the beautiful game.
Looking Ahead
Sherzer plans to add more clubs and diversify the types of prompts, ensuring that the game remains a living archive of football history. The ambition is to turn a simple daily quiz into a lasting tribute to the moments that have defined the Premier League.
