Further details
This exhaustive collection of football-related statistics was compiled by Alex Wilson (1916-1989) who began collecting statistics on Exeter City, his home town club, as a young man before World War II. His interest was not only confined to Exeter City (see following lot) but was much more widespread and encompassed a love of football in general. All his spare time was taken-up compiling these statistics and many an evening was spent in the library photocopying period newspapers from which most of this information was taken.
