Notes
[edit]- ^ Forbes.com sometimes publishes unreliable content via its "contributors" (see WP:FORBESCON). Forbes Czech does not appear to have this issue.
- ^ While this site is useful, it has numerous errors, including the dates when players were inducted, the years that trophies were awarded, and the proper first names of players.
