Have you ever found yourself thinking that your extensive knowledge of football trivia should really be rewarded? When you are the only one in your family and friend circle who can answer those seemingly impossible football questions like “On which arm does Lionel Messi have a tattoo?” or “In which year did Jay Jay Okocha score his first goal in his professional career?” or “What was the last club Sunday Oliseh played for in the Nigerian league?” don’t you feel like an under-appreciated genius who deserves to be recognized for such knowledge and passion?


Oliver Chilem Udorie of Positive FC faced this exact situation on this week’s episode of Nigeria’s biggest football game show, Star SuperFans. The very first question on the Star Lager-sponsored show was “The first live television coverage of a football match in 1937 involved what Premier League team? Liverpool? Aston Villa? Arsenal? Manchester United?” While his teammates fidgeted and winced at the perceived difficulty of the 20-point question, the lifelong Arsenal fan smiled and calmly answered “Arsenal.”


Host Mozez Praiz, perhaps stunned at the calmness of his answer needled him “Are you sure about that Oliver? Were you there in 1937?” Without wavering he answered, “I wasn’t there.” “Are you sure?” Mozez Praiz pressed further. “Yes,” he said. “Correct!” said Mozez Praiz and the audience exploded as Positive FC moved to the edge of Adoration FC’s penalty box. This turned out to be the defining moment of the game as Positive FC stayed on the front foot until the end of the game which ended 2-1 in their favour. The grand prize of N1 million and this week’s bragging rights thus went to Oliver and his four teammates Ernest Alakiri, Mayowa Akinsola, Francis Enujekwu and Olayinka Ariwajoye, while Adoration FC had to make do with the N100,000 consolation prize.
