 The referees were not regular published in the reports of the league matches in the European countries in the period 1888 to 1910. The most league matches were played in every season in the English league - and following the referees with the most league appearances should be included in the above list. Some referees were not continuous in the top division. The "Top 10" should have 250 and more referee appearances, but it is also possible that belong to in this ranking more than one Scottish referee. So above all the Scotsman Thomas Robertson (Glasgow) who also whistled from 1902 to 1910 league matches in the English top division.
