A number of years ago, I came across a great web page created by Alex Harm that presented the English Football League in a way I had not encountered before: every historical season, for up to four tiers of leagues, placed side by side across a very wide page. You could highlight a club across the years and see how it rose and fell over time. A few clubs were coloured so you could find the F.A. Cup or European champions.
The page stopped being updated after 2018 and eventually could only be found in an Internet Archive snapshot.
Eventually, I decided to save the page and maintain my own personal copy for reference. I updated it each year with a new season of results and added a fifth tier going back to 1987. But the content was buried within busy HTML, making each update tedious, so I recently decided to rewrite it completely for my own use. As I worked on it, I came up with a host of improvements that I think considerably enhance Alex's original concept.
It turns out Alex has since raised his page from the dead and established a new version. It makes a number of visual and structural updates, and I am very happy to see it again.
However, since I have done what I have done, I have decided to make my version available because I think others may find its new features equally useful. That said, all credit goes to Alex Harm for his idea and doing all the initial work.
