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 NWFU.  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.
