Not sure if this is the correct place but I now have access to:

Football League Players' Records 1888-1939 by Michael Joyce

So anyone who wants a footballing ancestor's info, just ask

Hello Gadget,

Would Irish and Scots players who moved to live in England and Wales be on the list?

If they played in the Football league between 1888 and 1939. Yes.

But, sorry, no look ups between now and 1st April.

I'd better join the queue now .. if I can please?

My great Uncle Jimmy .. presumably under the name James Delaney .. was rumoured to play for Accrington Stanley.

I will modify this post when I can get a few more details .. it would have been pre second world war.

Thanks Gadget.
