A regular 2nd level was first formed for the 1892/93 season in England. The facts for the table have been gathered by Clas Glenning from Wikipedia, RSSSF, Soccerway and The Rothmans Book of Football Records. The table is counted with 3 points for a win. Namechanges and pointdeductions are clarified at the end of this document. Thanks to John Robinson for additional clarifications. You are free to copy this document in non-commercial circumstances but please state the source, i.e. Clas Glenning. The table was completely overhauled and corrected in April 2020.
