UK A - Z Transfers
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 ).
