I have changed the table back so as League and Total appearances/goals are shown separately. Some club articles split league and totals, whilst others include just overall totals. However, there is no complete on-line stats website for all Leicester players, including non-league (other) games. Therefore, it is much easier if league totals are separated from other games. This allows entries to be added for players where only their league totals are known (e.g. using the Neil Brown website). Even if there were/is a complete Leciester stats website I see no harm in separately listing league games, as league appearances of players are often quoted and can be useful to know, and of course in Wikipedia the player infoboxes are supposed to summarise league games only. I intend to add some text to the article explaining which competitions are deemed notable. Eldumpo ( talk) 21:19, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

We shouldn't be using that website as a reference if it is incomplete. The best place for complete player stats for Leicester players is the reference book (and club bible) Of Fossils and Foxes which has the complete playing history of every single player ever to play for the club and the line-up, substitutes and scorers for every single competitive game the club has ever played (this is where I also got all of the player stats from the players I added to the table, sorry I should have sourced it). Reference books such as OFAF are generally considered a much better source than websites for wikipedia, because reference books are always properly researched and double and triple checked by editors and publishers (OFAF has also been sold in the club shop also as it is sanctioned by the club and has gone through the club's official records for history etc), whereas websites can be published by anyone without any proof reading or research.
Generally, in club history pages, complete competitive playing records are used because Leicester have not just playing in the league throughout their history, other competitive competitions are important as well. It makes no real sense to put league appearances in there, unless you are also going to list the appearances for the Play-offs, FA Cup, League Cup, Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Cup, Full Members Cup, Charity Shield, Johnstone's Paint Trophy etc. as well.
Also, the "Explanation" section you have done at the top of the page are table footnoted which belong in the "Notes" section at the bottom of the page, not an "Explanation" section at the top of the page, see: Template:Note label for more details. -- MIR17 ( talk) 00:35, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
Does anyone mind if I split the player names into Forename(s) and Surname(s)? The reason for this is so that the players can be ordered by either their Surname or Forname.
