Full season (OPTA) data for Henry referred to here by the way: Miscellaneous Premier League Stats | BigSoccer Forum I see higher up the page the Ginola 1999/2000 dribbles and runs number is listed as 406 actually though there (a little less than 415). So Henry added 40 more dribbles & runs in the final 3 PL games seemingly in 2002/03 anyway (and 22 more shots), since the data found by SayWhatIWant was compiled (end of April).
I just asked the head of data at Opta today and he said they have the PL data going back to 1996 but effectively full data from 2006 onwards. I doubt they have CL data before what Sofascore already have up.
They don't have it today, but is there any chance of them doing a new data collection? I think that from the 90s onwards, and also from the Copa America, it's not difficult to find complete videos on sites like youtube and footbalia.
I wouldn’t want to speak for Opta but it’s going to be a commercial decision. If someone will pay for it then they’d do it I’m sure. Depends if anyone is willing to pay.
