Obituary: Neil Brown, 13th September 1948 - 20th July 2015

To all of Neil's Internet friends, sharers of transfer knowledge and fellow 'anoraks'.
It is with deepest sadness that I have to tell you that my husband Neil died suddenly at home on Monday 20th July. He was sitting at his desk updating this website, as he did every morning of his life.
I cannot express the pain of losing this wonderful man but I know he died doing something that he loved. He began this hobby exactly 54 years ago at the age of 12, typing up transfer information he'd read from cigarette cards.
If anyone wishes to contact me, I can be reached at pambrown1956.pb@gmail.com, particularly if there is anyone out there who can continue this great website that was praised the world over.
Pam Brown

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 ).
