A WORK IN PROGRESS. Here is a collection of data and things I find interesting that you might, too, about The Beautiful Game (indoors and out). The tireless research of Rich Paschette, David Litterer, the late, great Steve Holroyd, John Kimmes, Scott Leach and Ken Jamieson is gratefully acknowledged in appropriate portions of this compendium.
