Individual evidence

1. ^ Hans-Otto Busche / Heinz Fricke, The great Werder book, football history and stories, R. Busche Bremen publishing house
2. ↑ On December 6, 1971, Ackerschott was still referred to in the kicker sports magazine as an "old league player" (page 33). If the games in this team are included, then the number 832 can be correct. The time between 1942 and 1958 would not be enough for this.
