A note on player numbering

Players are allotted a number following their debut, and those making debuts in the same match are listed in order of position played

i.e. Goalkeeper -> Defender -> Midfielder -> Forward.

Players making debuts as substitutes in the same game are listed in the order in which they went on.

Matches which have been expunged from the records, including those which were abandoned and the first three fixtures of 1939-40 before the outbreak of the Second World War, are not included. Neither are the unofficial games which were played during the war years before the FA Cup resumed in 1946.
