Morning all, newbie here. Hopefully one of you can help my quest.
I am trying to compile a detailed history of team lineups in the Southern League from 1894 to 1920 and have bitten off more than I can chew!
Aside from a Swindon (http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/) and West Ham (http://www.westhamstats.info/) website, I haven't been able to find any others that detail line ups from that era.
A Spurs site (http://www.topspurs.com/) provides , but no lineups. A QPR site also exists (http://www.qprnet.com/) that has downloadable Excel sheets by season with full details too.
Does anyone have any ideas whether a similar site exists for BHA stattos? Or indeed any other ex-Southern League team?
I think maybe I should try my hand at Alchemy - turning base metals into gold currently seems an easier task!
Many thanks in advance!
Apologies, forgot to mention I have found Southampton SL lineups in "A Complete History of SFC 1885-1987" ISBN 0 907969 22 4, and Reading match details and scorers, but no line ups, in "Heaven on Earth" by Alan Sedunary, ISBN 1 874427 798.
So just Brighton, Portsmouth, Luton, CHatham (!), Clapton (!), Ilford (!), Royal Ordnance Factories (!!) etc etc to go. !!
