Notes:
- first time i see somebody losing a match despite giving a double-bagel to his opponent !
- more importantly, the quantity of best-of-5 matches in the "good old times" is simply amazing. they should really bring back some best-of-5 finals on the tour (at least for the final of the year-end masters, please !)
- moose, it seems they now corrected the result of the final for the 1974 masters

Geeze! ... already running out of room in the OP (10,000 characters max). I believe the match record links are utilizing a ton of space.

I was forced to pare down the text and may need to split up Active / Inactive players. I'll probably move the Inactive Players down to Post #3 as I think the match record links are essential.

Perhaps a moderator can delete post #2 (which is a waste of space) so the Active and Inactive players hold the first two posts in the thread.

For now, let's continue verifying records of players currently listed and I'll continue linking them until space runs out once again. Let's try and refrain from adding any new players (unless significant).

Any other suggestions?

I made more space available in the OP so we can continue adding records of players in the active list
