Looking for Irish League Stats

**el punter** · 04/01/2006, 1:03 PM

I'm trying to build a database of stats for the Irish League and could do with a little help. I want player names, positions, and 2005 data on apps and goals for each player.

Some of the official club sites have this info in an easy to extract format, others have it an a more complicated one, some dont have it at all as far as I can see

Failing the discovery of the existence of such information online, perhaps some of the individual supporters of clubs could supply the data to me and I will build the database and put it on a website for everyone to see and use however they wish.

Any takers?

If you are looking for historical data there used to be an annual round-up compiled by an England based IL fan called Marshall something or other.
If you Google it he may emerge.

There is a handbook produced every year which should have everything you need. Pretty easy to get in most bookshops in NI but I've never seen it down here.

The guy mentioned above is Marshall Gillespie. No contact details but he has published/contributed to a number of books on football in NI.

Thanks for the info gents. Can anyone give me the specific name of that handbook so I can order a copy?
