Footnotes

A. ^ Soccerbase incorrectly states that Jon Taylor played for Shrewsbury Town in a match against Burton Albion on 16 January 2010.[31] It was actually Danny Taylor who played in this match, whilst Jon Taylor was an unused substitute.[32] Therefore, unless corrected, Jon Taylor always has one less football league appearance than what is stated on Soccerbase.
