All-time Club Directory A-D E-H I-L M-P Q-T U-Z
When I initially created the old Scottish Football
Encyclopaedia site back in 2002, it was to principally give an airing to
research that I had carried out around 20 years previously. That site unfortunately
lapsed after I couldn’t give it the time it needed, but the present site has now
been going strong since 2006. Thanks greatly to input from other historians, the Club
Directory now encompasses over 4000 clubs and the archive also holds complete
records of a number of defunct leagues from the 1890s and early 20th Century. Also
original research supplied by Stuart Robertson, means the site also holds the
most comprehensive record of the Scottish League C Division of the immediate
post-WWII.
For 2008, I’ve decided to give the site a more encyclopaedic
look, with all the topics listed alphabetically. I will also recommence the Club Directory, update
existing sections and add further research to the archive.
