The Match by Match series is an ambitious undertaking to chronicle the results and line-ups of English club football in League and Cup. Each volume is edited by Tony Brown and compiled with the assistance of many club statisticians and other researchers. Starting with the first Football League season in 1888/89, the series of books runs to 1969/70. This latter seasons is chosen because it is the first one covered by the Rothmans Yearbooks, so there is now a complete record of English League games.
The Match by Match books contain all the results, attendances, goal scorers and line-ups for each club in the Football League. FA Cup ties are also included, as are the Football League Cup (from 1960/61), the Division Three North and South Cups played in the 1930s and European club cup matches.
Though every care is taken in producing the books, the odd mistakes escape attention. Printed copies of amendment lists are sent out from time to time, and are also available here:
Amendment List Two: March 2009
Revised grid for Liverpool 1964/65 (see amendment list two)
Amendment List Three: April 2010
