This
list includes all changes known about from August 2007 to
July 2008.
Format:
Player's name
(club in the 1970-71 season): club at start of 2007-2008
season - this club's League position; current post.
(Additional information as described below).
Additional
information:
'WoSS'
means the Bob 70-71 Player is in the FKS World of
Soccer Stars Album for 1970-71, the album on which
the site was originally based.
'Sky' means that the Bob 70-71 Player is listed in
the 2006-2007 Sky Sports Football Yearbook. I've
still included this to show continuity with the old
format.
'COW' means that the Bob 70-71 Player is not in the
Sky yearbook, but that the information is confirmed
by the club's official website.
'BBC' means the information is confirmed by the BBC
website, and mainly applies to Bob 70-71 Players who
took up post after the start of the season.
'Wik' means the information is from Wikipedia, 'the free
encyclopedia', which is used if the Official Website
is not forthcoming with information.
The condition
of including the player on the list is merely if I know
about it ! So do inform me of any others you know about,
and apologies in advance for any I've missed.

underlined player's name or player's 70-71 team to find

Note:
Other
current English League managers who were the right age,
but I do not yet have confirmation of their place on the
site due to not having a playing career in England are:
Arsčne Wenger - Arsenal.
Graham
Barrow Assistant Manager at Chester City was born in
1954, but I do not yet have the proof that he was an
apprentice in 70-71.
Steve
Coppell - Reading was born in 1955, and again I do not
have any proof that he was on anyone's books in 70-71.
Index
From 2005-2006
the layout of the Rothmans/Sky pages was changed to an
easier Players A-Z of those Bob70-71 Players who still
have a position in professional football, including
non-league and non-English clubs or international
positions.
Previous to
this the site's original format which was based on the
player being listed in Sky Sports Football Yearbook. This
source is no longer the only way of finding out the
information, and it has started to list fewer and fewer
posts beyond manager and coach.
