Made his 375th appearance on Saturday to become our 5th record appearance player. Can someone provide details of the 1st to 4th players with their appearances.

According to the Wikipedia page it is Ian Knight 599, Keith Cooper 574, Johnny Williams 449 and Billy Ragan 428, but the book The Story So Far Ian Knight's appearance record is 611.

I stand to be corrected but I think the records in "TSSF" do include some competitions that we would not consider as "first team" games today.

I believe that for a few seasons the club had a first team in Hampshire Division 1 and a second team in Hampshire Division 2. They on a couple of occasions won the Southampton Senior Cup with what was labelled a reserve team, but it seems that The Story So Far only includes the results of the first team, and junior cup competitions for years 1946/47 to 1950/51 only.

Well one way or another, it seems like Greener definitely lays claim to the most appearances ever for the club at "Elite" level. Brilliant.

Having joined the club a few weeks before Bridle took over I believe "Greener" will have played all of his league games for Eastleigh at "Elite" level and under seven different managers.
