Utilizing the information in Rothmans Football Yearbook 1973-74 (which covers the 1972-73 season) … … the following thread offers the squads of each team and the line-ups of every game played in the English First Division in 1972-73. 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. If a player was an international, the number of full international games at the start of the season (August) is indicated. The year in which a player signed a contract is also indicated, as are his previous clubs. Example: Ball, Alan James (b. 12.05.1945), 56 A, *1971, formerly Everton FC, Blackpool FC, Ashton United Graham, George (b. 30.11.1944), 6 A Scotland, *1966, formerly Chelsea FC, Aston Villa "6 A Scotland" indicates that a player acted in six FIFA-recognised full international games for Scotland. When there is no nationality given (see Alan Ball above), the default national team is England. The line-ups work as follows: Liverpool FC v Arsenal FC 0-2 (0-0) Saturday, 10 February 1973, Anfield Road, attendance: 49,898 LFC: Clemence; Lawler, A.Lindsay, T.Smith, Lloyd, E.Hughes, K.Keegan, B.Hall, Boersma, Toshack, Callaghan AFC: Wilson; Rice, R.McNab, Storey, Blockley, Simpson, G.Armstrong, Ball (1’), Radford (1, George), R.Kennedy, E.Kelly 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: 18 22-34 41:41 28 07 08 13 1.00 Stoke City Rank /Points For-Points Against /Goals For:Goals Against /Games Played /Wins /Draws /Losses /Goal Average Table 01 42-18 42:27 30 17 08 05 1.56 Arsenal FC 02 41-17 52:31 29 17 07 05 1.68 Liverpool FC 03 39-17 50:29 28 16 07 05 1.72 Leeds United 04 36-20 39:28 28 13 10 05 1.39 Ipswich Town 05 32-26 47:38 29 12 08 09 1.24 Newcastle United 06 32-28 36:43 30 13 06 11 0.84 Derby County 07 30-28 49:39 29 11 08 10 1.26 West Ham United 08 29-27 40:40 28 11 07 10 1.00 Manchester City 09 29-29 29:30 29 08 13 08 0.97 Southampton FC 10 28-28 39:37 28 09 10 09 1.05 Chelsea FC 11 28-26 40:39 27 11 06 10 1.03 Wolverhampton Wanderers 12 28-28 30:31 28 10 08 10 0.97 Coventry City 13 27-29 36:34 28 10 07 11 1.06 Tottenham Hotspur 14 26-30 28:26 28 09 08 11 1.08 Everton FC 15 25-33 34:40 29 08 09 12 0.85 Leicester City 16 24-32 31:43 28 09 06 13 0.72 Sheffield United 17 23-35 26:43 29 08 07 14 0.61 Norwich City 18 22-34 41:41 28 07 08 13 1.00 Stoke City 19 22-36 28:45 29 06 10 13 0.62 Manchester United 20 21-33 29:34 27 06 09 12 0.85 Crystal Palace 21 21-35 33:44 28 06 09 13 0.75 Birmingham City 22 19-35 24:41 27 06 07 14 0.59 West Bromwich Albion

Hello everyone I am the webmaster of the Italian site www.dbscalcio.com historical database of players. The site contains the returns of 28,000 Italian and foreign players current and historical. I'm looking for the match centre in the English league matches before the 1993-94 with ratings of the players. Do you have any site that is right for me? Thank you.
Ratings of English players? While I am not that much of an expert, I guess British newspapers or sports papers did not rate players like it was done in other countries. Perhaps RoyOfTheRovers or Comme know more about that. When it comes to websites offering historical information on British players, I think Lanman is the most profound expert on this site.
By the way, since the forum has changed, I am facing troubles continuing this series as there now is a petty character limit which makes it impossible to post really longth posts like in this thread. I have brought that problem forward to the administrators and hopefully *someday* I will be able to continue (1973-74 is ready to be posted). https://www.bigsoccer.com/community/threads/character-limit.1944899/
Superb effort again Greg. Really hope the forum points get sorted out because you are doing sterling work. In terms of English player ratings they do often exist but they are in no way easily referencable or consistent. English football just doesn't have an equivalent to a kicker, Gazzetta or France Football. Tabloid newspapers will often carry ratings and so will broadsheets ocasionally but nobody would keep the records and they might not be there for every game.
