en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Maidstone_United_F.C._(1897)_players was my source for a lot of this. A lot of nostalgia in there (and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Maidstone_United_F.C._players ) Did Danny Hockton really play 51 and score 16 times?

Not convinced of the accuracy of those lists. For a start they don't seem long enough, especially the old one, and secondly they have Brian Thompson playing for us post-reformation!

Nice to be reminded of some names I'd forgotten though.

Obviously a selection and not complete. A player has to have played for a professional team to get a Wiki page. Remember if you see an inaccuracy on Wikipedia you can correct it yourself...

I've often thought of correcting the fact that Wikipedia thinks there are two Maidstone Uniteds!
