Utilizing the information in Rothmans Football Yearbook 1971-72 (which covers the 1970-71 season) … … the following thread offers the squads of each team and the line-ups of every game played in the English First Division in 1970-71. Also included are the tables after each week of action as well as the top scorers chart. The tables are taken from Fussballdaten. The dates of birth in the squads section was taken from Barry Hugman’s Football League Player Records 1946-92. Rothmans did not have DOBs in their yearbook as the majority of clubs did not wish to see their player’s DOBs publicised at the time. Since this issue of Rothmans Football Yearbook had some inconsistencies regarding the lineups of Manchester United, I utilized Andrew Endlar's Manchester United: The Complete Record for the lineups of that club. The line-ups work as follows: Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 (2-1) Saturday, 6 February 1971, Old Trafford, attendance: 48,966 MUFC: Stepney; Fitzpatrick, F.Burns, Crerand, P.Edwards, Sadler, W.Morgan (1), Kidd, R.Charlton, Gowling, G.Best (1) Spurs: Jennings; R.Evans, C.Knowles, Mullery, P.Collins, Beal, Gilzean, Perryman, M.Chivers, Peters (1), Neighbour Reads as: Home v Away Full Score (Half Time Score) Weekday, Date, Ground, attendance Home: 1 Goalkeeper – 2 Right Back, 3 Left Back, 4 Right Half, 5 Center Half, 6 Left Half, 7 Outside Right, 8 Inside Right, 9 Center Forward, 10 Inside Left, 11 Outside Left Away: Dito The above line-up follows the classic 2-3-5 formation. It does not necessarily mean that a player who wore the #11 shirt actually played on the left wing. A famous example is Graeme Souness, who wore #11 during his Liverpool days. Or Ray Kennedy, who wore #5 but of course was not a center half. But by and large, the numbering in the 1970s and 1980s still somewhat mirrored where on the pitch a player was to be found predominantly. If this traditional numbering is transferred into the actual tactical formation, one can in most cases assume the following: 2 - Right Back 3 - Left Back 4 - Defensive or right-sided midfielder (sometimes center back) 5 - Center Back 6 - Center Back (sometimes defensive midfielder) 7 - Right-sided midfielder or right wing 8 - Central midfielder, forward, striker 9 - Center Forward, targetman, forward, striker 10 - Attacking midfielder, forward, striker 11 - Left-sided midfielder or left wing Goalscorers can be identified as follows: If a player scored a goal, it is noted like this: Ritchie (1), if he scored two goals: Ritchie (2) and so on. If a player scored one goal from a penalty, it is noted like this: Viljoen (1’). If a player scored two goals, one from open play and one from a penalty, it is noted like this: Burrows (2’). If a player scored three goals, one from open play and two from penalties, it is noted like this: Royle (3’’). If a player scored four goals, one from open play and three from penalties, it is noted like this: Woodward (4’’’). Tables read as follows: 05 33-23 41:33 28 11 11 06 1.24 Wolverhampton Wanderers Rank /Points For-Points Against /Goals For:Goals Against /Games Played /Wins /Draws /Losses /Goal Average Table 01 54-16 60:27 35 23 08 04 2.22 Leeds United 02 48-16 57:25 32 21 06 05 2.28 Arsenal FC 03 44-26 47:36 35 16 12 07 1.31 Chelsea FC 04 43-25 56:49 34 18 07 09 1.14 Wolverhampton Wanderers 05 39-27 33:19 33 13 13 07 1.74 Liverpool FC 06 39-29 44:35 34 14 11 09 1.26 Southampton FC 07 38-26 45:30 32 14 10 08 1.50 Tottenham Hotspur 08 36-30 37:28 33 11 14 08 1.32 Manchester City 09 34-32 48:49 33 12 10 11 0.98 Manchester United 10 33-37 49:50 35 11 11 13 0.98 Everton FC 11 33-33 29:31 33 13 07 13 0.94 Coventry City 12 33-35 37:40 34 12 09 13 0.93 Newcastle United 13 31-37 38:40 33 10 11 12 0.95 Stoke City 14 30-38 43:47 34 11 08 15 0.91 Derby County 15 30-38 52:63 34 09 12 13 0.83 West Bromwich Albion 16 30-40 34:41 35 09 12 14 0.83 Huddersfield Town 17 30-40 29:38 35 10 10 15 0.76 Crystal Palace 18 29-39 35:48 34 11 07 16 0.73 Nottingham Forest 19 27-41 36:40 34 10 07 17 0.90 Ipswich Town 20 25-43 39:53 34 06 13 15 0.74 West Ham United 21 21-47 25:52 34 04 13 17 0.48 Burnley FC 22 17-51 27:58 34 03 11 20 0.47 Blackpool FC

Another fantastic resource Greg. Which season do you plan on covering this up to? I know you said the RSSSF would be problematic, but have you considered contacting the Football League to see if they would be interested in your work?
Thank you very much guys. Great to see you back around. I plan to cover this up 1991-92 but might expand it to 1994-95. "The Football League" is too official for my tastes - I have made the experience that official institutions all have their lawyers ready whenever they sniff a chance to claim any kind of "copyright"...it might not be the case here, but you never know. At the moment I am content with adding a link to the respective site on Wikipedia.
ah, 70/71. Reading's centenary year. Confidence high that we'd get out of the 3rd division at long last, 35 years since going down. We did... ...but sadly the wrong way ...after losing our last game of the season ...through an own goal ...scored by our player of the year. I do love looking back at this sort of stuff though, particularly the crowds. Who'd have though Liverpool v Forest, pulling 40,000 would be outdrawn by a crowd of 41000 at Crystal Palace?
Thanks for sharing your memories of that particular season ... although according to your profile you were still a toddler back then!
