PLAYING IN MULTIPLE SEASONS

This is a list of players who have played in the most seasons. Again, this is one of those stats unlikely to be broken as not many players stay with the club for the number of years that are needed to be added to this list.
Clear leader though is Bob McKinlay who made appearances in 19 different seasons from 1951 to 1970. Geoff Thomas (1944-60), Grenville Morris and James Iremonger all appeared in 15 seasons.
