Football (soccer) lineups
Considering the sport's popularity I was surprised I was unable to find many lineups for football matches contested more than ten years or so ago. In particular I would like to view lineups for FA Premiership matches contested within its first few years (i.e. 92 - 95), and lower English leagues if possible. Anyone know anywhere to find this? Soccerbase is the best I could find but is pretty poor really. --80.4.203.142 (talk) 23:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I very much doubt you are going to find that kind of detail anywhere online. You need to go back to printed sources, i.e. contemporary newspapers and back copies of the Rothmans Football Yearbook. --Richardrj talkemail 23:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The Association of Football Statisticians have reams of information although their site requires a subscription, but they do supply TV and the media with statistics so the quality of their information should be top notch. They have also started their "Football Genome Project" which has set out to catalogue every international and professional football match ever staged.- X201 (talk) 11:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
