NOTE ON SOURCES: I
am greatly indebted to Ross Smith for sharing the results of his
painstaking research into numerous aspects of the statistical history of the
NTFA. The Top Goalkicker information recorded below differs in some
respects from that which has been published elsewhere, but deriving as it does
from Ross' scrupulous examination of primary source material, notably newspapers
like 'The Examiner', 'Saturday Evening Express', and 'The Weekly Courier', I am
confident as to its accuracy.
