To qualify for our list of player biographies, a player must have played at least 100 league games, or scored at least 25 league goals. Occasional "freestyle" biographies are included where a non-qualifying player has done something to deserve it, in the entirely subjective opinion of our contributors. Policy dictates that current players are not included.
Scroll down to the bottom to see biographies of managers and officials.
Where links to more recent players or managers do not work,
it is because I haven't got round to writing the biography yet.
