Football Tenable is a free football quiz where you have to name the top ten for a single category. It might be the most capped players for England, the most red cards in Premier League history or the most expensive signings ever. Every answer has a place on the board from one to ten, and you only get three lives to fill it.
The obvious names go quickly. Then you hit the middle of the list, and the board starts to fight back.

How to Play Football Tenable
Every round gives you a football list with ten answers, such as the Premier League’s all-time top goalscorers or England’s 1966 World Cup final team. Your job is to name all ten.
Type a name and hit Guess. Get it right and the player drops into their place on the list, along with the stat that put them there. Get it wrong and you lose a life. You have 30 seconds for each guess, and if the clock runs out, that costs a life too. Lose all three and the round is over.
Spelling doesn’t need to be perfect. Surnames, full names and common nicknames all count, so “Shearer”, “Alan Shearer” and “Sheerer” will all get you the point. If two players share a name, like the Charlton brothers in 1966, the game will ask you to be more specific rather than take a life.
Why I Built Football Tenable
I’ve always thought the best football arguments are about lists. Who’s the fourth-highest scorer, how many clean sheets did that keeper keep, who started the 1966 final at left-back. Get a few mates in a pub and one of those questions will run for an hour.
Football Tenable is my attempt to bottle that argument. It’s the quiz I wanted to play myself, built so you can settle a debate in a couple of minutes and then immediately start another one.
Football Tenable Premier League
Most of our lists come straight from Premier League history, and they’re built on Opta stats wherever possible. You’ll be asked to name:
- The Premier League’s all-time top 10 goalscorers
- The players with the most Premier League appearances
- The 10 most expensive signings in Premier League history
- The players with the most Premier League assists
- The goalkeepers with the most Premier League clean sheets
- The players with the most Premier League hat-tricks
- Arsenal’s Invincibles from 2003/04
- Leicester’s title-winning side from 2015/16
There are also lists from England’s history and European nights, including the 1966 World Cup final, Euro 96 and Istanbul 2005. We update the stat-based lists as records fall, so Salah, Haaland and the rest of today’s stars will keep shifting the answers.
