Note: "first" names listed are those under which the players were commonly known at the
      time; in a substantial number of cases, these do not correspond to their official
      first names (but e.g. to their "second" or "middle" names or variations thereof);
      in cases where the commonly used name is uncertain, both first and second names
      are given.  Many thanks to Cris Freddi for information on this topic.
