Burnley FC defender Clarke Carlisle won his appearance on Countdown this week.
The defender, 30, saw off reigning champion Adam Guest 89-55 to move into the champions chair and ensure the show's famous teapot trophy will take pride of place among the Turf Moor silverware.
And he told the show's host, Jeff Stelling: "I can't say it's better than winning a big football game - but it's up there!
"It's a lifelong ambition. I'm just delighted to be here," he added during the show.
Stelling noted: "Your team-mates can't take the mickey out of you too much now."
