About me
My name is Mark, but you might know me better as Rowdy. I have attended a total of 400 of Sydney FC’s competitive matches, plus at least 56 friendlies.
My day job is in statistics, but it’s not really the same thing as this.
Contributors
I am very grateful to the following people for contributing to this project:

Acknowledgements
As well as the direct contributors listed above, this project would not be possible without:

Statistics
Everything here is unofficial, but I have been as careful as possible to ensure accuracy. I have not scraped results or statistics from a single source. Where possible, I have collected match details myself while watching footage of the game, and have also relied on official match results when available. Otherwise, or to resolve discrepancies, I have used:
- Sydney FC official website, Facebook and Twitter
- A-League official website, Facebook and Twitter
- FFA Cup official website, Facebook and Twitter
- W-League official website, Facebook and Twitter
- Sydney FC women’s unofficial Twitter
- Soccerway
- Wikipedia
Other specific sources:
- YouTube, Fox Sports and the Sydney FC season 1 DVD for collecting goal data
- Asian Football Confederation official website for AFC Champions League games
- SportsTG for OFC Champions League games
