About this leaderboard
At 46 league matches a season, Championship appearance totals climb faster than anywhere else in this collection. A decade in the English second tier can produce a figure that would take considerably longer to reach in a 34-game league, which makes cross-league comparison here particularly misleading.
In play these are among the largest numbers available, so the top of the board is capped and largely interchangeable. The value is in knowing the tier at all — long second-tier careers are widely unfollowed, and a handful of them make excellent scoring darts nobody else will reach for.
