Only the seasons this archive holds are listed — it begins in 2000/01 and covers league matches in the five competitions named above, so a career that started earlier or ran through other leagues shows a gap here rather than a blank.
How this page is put together
The career table above is the structured record held on Wikidata under a public-domain licence, read once and cached, not queried while you are reading. The player is bound to that record by date of birth rather than by name: a name search returns the wrong Klose and three different Robinhos, and a page carrying somebody else’s links cannot afford that.
Compare any two clubs he played for with the head-to-head tool, or read the records these seasons feed into.
