Playerhistory.com is an internet association football statistics database, founded in April 2002 by former footballer Håkon André Winther (born 15 September 1969 in Tromsø).[1]

Maintained by a team of volunteers from all over the world, it is one of the largest websites of its kind.[2] As of August 2009, when Football DataCo threatened legal action in a dispute over fixtures, the site contains more than 340,000 player profiles, 40,000 club details and more than 1,600,000 match results.[2]

Playerhistory.com's material has been reproduced in media sources including

Bladet Tromsø.[4]
