I don't know what type of research Reddwarf33 did but personally my first port of call were the official club sites as they normally have a detailed view of the player. Afterwards, I would use Wikipedia for additional information as they are quite good for statistics such as matches played, goals scored, international appearances. Two excellent sites also for statistics were national-football-teams.com and rsssf.com. A lot of the English and French based players from the mid-90's onwards I used my personal viewing experience. Finally, some videos were handy for an idea of their preferred foot. I never used any PES/FIFA stats as I don't know how reliable they are.

A new file has been added which contains a few changes.
