Welcome to the new version of this site. The old site had been lying dormant for so long that I have decided to start again from scratch with a new format. The focus will be less on statistics and more on longer biographies of great players and coaches. The old site is still available as an archive.
If you have been redirected to the home page having searched for a particular player or match, please follow the "Old Site Archive" link on the left and look through the pages there.
I will be adding biographies to the site one at a time, in order of date of birth - starting with the earliest legends of the game. Please check back regularly for new content!

Few players in the history of football have made more appearances for a single club than Czech goalkeeping legend František Plánička. In a sixteen year career, he made nearly 1,000 appearances for Slavia Prague as well as amassing a then-world record number of international appearances. Renowned for his excellent reflexes and shot-stopping ability, he is considered one of the finest goalkeepers of the pre-Second World War era.
