I wrote my very first FootySimulator prototype in the late 1980s on a ZX Spectrum. All ratings were calculated with pen and paper
and results were entered manually. Since then the software that has evolved into FootySimulator has become much more streamlined and it
seems appropriate to provide acknowledgements as to the sources of the data and some of the assistance that has allowed the
site to progress to its present state.
DATA RESOURCES FOR INTERNATIONAL AND CLUB FOOTBALL
In the early days of FootySimulator, World Soccer magazine was my definitive source for all results.
Nowadays international data is also derived from
worldfootball.net.
Club data is derived from
football-data.co.uk and
soccerway.com. International squad information generally comes from
national-football-teams.com/.
Where necessary, data is corroborated from the BBC website, wikipedia and
the RSSSF website.
