Talk:Bert Swindells

Goal tally
Different sources give different figures for Swindells' goal tally at Crewe. Crisp (1998) twice gives a total of 128 league goals in 247 appearances, but other sources suggest 126. Charlie Morris's book mentions a total of 137 goals.

On top of the league totals, a detailed reading of Crisp's tables suggests Swindells played 13 FA Cup games (scoring six times), nine Welsh Cup ties (five goals), seven appearances in the Third Division North Cup (four goals), five Cheshire Cup or Bowl appearances (two goals), and his benefit game against Stoke in 1936 (one goal). Added to the league game total, these 35 games make a total of 282 appearances. However, in editing this article and updating tables in Crewe's records and Crewe's players list, etc, I have disregarded all except the FA Cup and Welsh Cup games; this gives a total of 269 appearances and 139 goals. For now, I have included the Crisp numbers, but I will look for further sources to try to arrive at definitive figures (and if other editors have reliable sources that give authoritative totals, I hope they will add them).
