I'm not the most versed in google spreadsheets, but thanks to a few guides, I was able to put together a working sheet which put every kicking career into one list in around 2 hours. It was hardly "too much work" for me.To clarify on this point, because I'm not fond of the implication here that people are either lazy or incompetent... there is no foolproof way to distinguish between players with the same initial and surname in the index. This is why it's "impossible to implement" (automatically) and therefore "too much work" (because it will require someone manually going through and assigning a unique reference point [i.e. the player it relates to] for every individual player stat record for every season).
I actually discussed this very point recently on the dev server:
For kickers it's easy because there's not that many of them. Other positions... not so much.
That all said, a stats database of this nature is actually in the works.
