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.

Frequently asked

When and where was Derrick Sullivan born?

10 August 1930, and holds United Kingdom citizenship.

Which clubs did Derrick Sullivan play for?

5 on record: Cardiff City F.C., Exeter City F.C., Newport County A.F.C., Hereford United F.C., Ebbw Vale F.C..

How many of those seasons are in this archive?

None. The archive begins in 2000/01 and covers five European leagues; this career falls outside that window, so the page carries the career record without the season-by-season placings other player pages show.

How long did the career last?

From 1947 to 1964 on the club record here, 17 years across 5 clubs, none of them inside the window this archive covers.

Which competitions can this site say anything about?

None for this career. The archive is the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga from 2000/01 onwards, and these clubs and years fall outside it.

Where do these figures come from?

The career record is the structured data held for this player on Wikidata, which is public-domain. The league placings and points beside it are not: those are recalculated here from every individual result in the archive, which is why they can be compared with any other club or season on this site.
