Key: (N) = New player; (TI) = Transfer In; (TO) = Transferred Out after this season; (L) = last season in MQL (to date); (B) = player took a Break after this season; (R) = player Returned this season after a break

Please note: except in the 1988–9 season, the Average column gives the average score for the games that counted towards the season's total – i.e. 12 games in a league of nine teams, 11 games in a league of eight, and so on. The number of games that counted is given in the Counting column. In 1988–9, the Average is the average score for all games (because the figures are for the half–way stage of the season.)

Of the seven players who turned out for this team in its final season, five had only joined since the demise of the Wanderers in 1990.

If I'm correct in inferring that Kay Sugden had previously been known as Kay Higgins, she had played for the Wanderers since at least 1987.

John Sugden and Peter Farrington had both previously played for the Wanderers between 1987 and 1990.
