Obituary: Neil Brown, 13th September 1948 - 20th July 2015 To all of Neil's Internet friends, sharers of transfer knowledge and fellow 'anoraks'. Welcome! This site contains A - Z player's career transfer details for all Post War English and Scottish League sides ( click on the club below or the alphabetically listed team names on the left for player's transfer career details). The records are for players who appeared for their clubs between 1946/47 and the end of the 2013/14 season and who have now left their clubs (current players can be viewed on www.soccerbase.com ). ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ENGLISH LEAGUE APPEARANCES The
English League player's appearances and goal scorer’s statistics are
drawn primarily from Barry Hugman's 'The
Premier and Football League Player's Records'
series of books, for which I am extremely grateful for his permission to use. In
2015 Barry launched a superb new website http://www.Hugmansfootballers.com/
This
website gives all English League team’s footballers League Appearances
from 1946 onwards. SCOTTISH LEAGUE APPEARANCES The
Scottish League Appearances of all Scottish teams can be obtained from John Litster’s Post War Scottish League Players CD Rom which
is available from :- http://www.pmfc.co.uk/football_history.htm This
CD Rom contains
player’s full names, d.o.b.s, season by season appearances/goals
(including Scottish FA cup and League Cup matches). Individual International
honours are also detailed game by game and current players are listed with
current clubs. In addition Own Goals are listed to keep a record of the total
goals scored each season for complete goal scoring records. In addition many other
Scottish Football Historical publications are also available from the above
website. Note that for Scottish League records I have only included teams in Divisions A and B prior to the League reorganisation in the 1955/56 season. Division C teams records are excluded as the majority of clubs competing in this league were reserve teams from the A & B Divisions. For a full explanation of the events leading up to the reorganisation in 1955/56 read HERE. ( an article kindly provided by Alan Bell - Berwick Rangers historian). This
Site will be updated at the end of the season for all players leaving their
clubs during the 2014 - 2015 season. SCOTTISH LEAGUE PLAYER'S PLACES AND DATES OF BIRTH Prior to the publication of the 1st edition of the Scottish Football League Review in 1982/83 the places and dates of birth of Scottish League footballers were not widely published. As a result of this I have several thousand post-war Scottish players where I cannot complete a full record. If you are one of these players or are related to or are a friend of one of these players please e-mail pambrown1956.pb@gmail.com and I will complete a full record. I would also be delighted to hear from any fans ( or ex - players) concerning those players who have a ' ? ' in the 'Transferred to' column ( this means I don't know what happened to these players when they left the clubs ). ************************************************************************
