First Team Statistics 2002/2003

This table shows statistics for competitive first team games. Players are listed in shirt number order. Numbers in brackets in the "Played" columns show occasions when a player is used in a game as a substitute.

The normal way a player can get an assist is by making the final pass before a goal is scored. However, there will be times when this does not work. A player who scores a goal with a brilliant individual effort will get an assist as well as a goal. If a goal results from a suicidal defensive backpass, there will be no assist. For a penalty, the assist might go to the player fouled in the area. (Note also that this is a different definition from that used in the USA.)
