I don't know how difficult it would be to implement, but these kind of databases are millions of times better if you can filter the stats, eg. by goals, red cards etc. like the way they filter by seeds or leechers on torrent sites.
Oops, I meant to add, who on earth decided to alphabetise the list based on first names, that's just about the dumbest thing anyone can do, I mean you have two choices, first name and surname and 99.9999% would do it based on the surname, so who's the 1 in a million numpty who does it the other way round?
I've pulled the whole list into Excel, so here's a few stats....
