This thread is complementary to the Bigsoccer Profiles project. It covers the basic career stats of over 1,000 former* players. I’ve tried to gather the following information for each player: -Name -Nickname -Year of Birth -Country -Position -Caps / Goals -International career span -Participation in World Cup finals -Major trophies won with his country -Major trophies won with his club -Personal awards (Golden Ball, Golden Shoe, Top Scorer crown) -League appearances and goals (first division only) -Clubs played for plus club career span For many players I’ve been able to gather all of this data, however there are also a couple for whom parts of this information I couldn’t trace back. Book sources used were: - The Guinness Record of World Football by Guy Oliver (1992) - The Complete Encyclopedia of Football by Keir Radnedge (1998) - Fussball Lexikon by Bernd Rohr and Günter Simon (1994) - Das Grosse Europäische Fussballbuch by Uwe Nuttelmann (1997 - Fussball WM-Almanach by R.Keifu (1995) - Fussball EM-Almanach by Matthias Kropp (1997) - Enzyklopaedie der Europäischen Fussballvereine by Hardy Grüne (1992) As well as two volumes of books by the “International Federation of Football History and Statistics” (IFFHS), that deal with the World’s 211 Top League Goal Scorers of the 20th Century and the World Football Players of the 20th Century (book titles translated from German). Internet sources used were: RSSSF IFFHS Voetbal Focus Football Heroes Planet World Cup World Cup History Samba Foot Weltfussball Fussballdaten Nobok Sports Wikipedia Unfortunately some of these sources offered conflicting information on various player data, hence I can’t claim that every single information listed in this thread is 100% accurate, sometimes a bit of guessing had to be done, particularly in finding the correct span of years someone played for a club (I found a lot of conflicting information in that department). Some additional notes: The “Golden Ball South America” is based on the annual rankings of the “El Mundo” newspaper from Caracas (Venezuela). Their rankings are used for the period 1971 to 1990. Since 1991, the rankings of the “El Pais” newspaper from Montevideo (Uruguay) are used. The “Best Keeper” information is based on the highest ranked keeper in the annual “Golden Ball” rankings of South America and Europe. If a player was invited to play for a FIFA World XI, this is indicated (1963-1996 only). World Cup participation is listed regardless if a player did play in the final stages or not. Many of the pics have been downsized so that the thread will hopefully load faster. *I’ve added several players who have not yet retired but are on the verge of retiring (Desailly, Lizarazu, Sheringham etc.). Some of these players are still playing first division football, which means that their statistical data is still subject to change. The cut-off date in these cases is March 2006 [03/2006]. Finally, BigSoccer recently has implemented a new rule which limits the use of image tags per post to a meager three. This means that oftentimes I will have to use much smaller chapters than in the previous Complementary threads. This is also the reason why I have to repost this thread, as the old one cannot be edited anymore, not even by a moderator, as there are far too many image tags per post. Let’s get it on …
