Notes
- ↑ 1.0 1.1 Bean played in three matches in the abandoned 1939–40 Football League season. Joyce includes those appearances, giving Bean a total of 174,[2] but most sources, including his Lincoln City FC Archive statistics, do not (although, inconsistently, his prose profile at that site does).[1]
