Notes

  1. Bean played in three matches in the abandoned 1939–40 Football League season. Joyce includes those appearances, giving Bean a total of 174,[2] but most sources, including his Lincoln City FC Archive statistics, do not (although, inconsistently, his prose profile at that site does).[1]
gollark: What I mean is, on *all* the ones you show, why are they not multi-floor - why is it just a single floor with some balconies above?
gollark: I mean, why is there just a 3-block solid rim round empty space?
gollark: Why the hole in the middle and not solid floor though?
gollark: I might adopt that thing of running lots of small cable holes round the edges instead of one in the middle.
gollark: Oh, I quite like that design, it's cool.
