An em dash means no figure is recorded, which is not the same as none — Wikidata has no appearance count for about three spells in ten. Where a player has a count for some of his clubs and not others, his career total is shown as “at least”, because that is what it is.

Where this came from
Career figures, clubs, dates and positions from Wikidata, released into the public domain (CC0). The totals on this page are added up here from the club spells below. No free source links a player to individual matches, so this page cannot say which games he played in or which goals were his. The goals figures there are unreliable enough that this site publishes no list of leading scorers — 137 goalkeepers are credited with twenty or more. The figure above is the source’s, not a judgement about it.
