Default Lookup Help

I have a table that list names,club and stats for sporting
competition.

My problem is the stats are recieved with the name as - A.Name

as there are multiple players with the same name i need to create a
lookup function that finds the name and the club, so i can then
reference the stats in the associated col. like

name club stats
a.smith a blah
a.smith b blah

IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(TRIM(B3),Stats,2,FALSE)),0,(VLOOKU P(TRIM(B3),Stats,2,FALSE)))

I currently use this formula to see if the player played and then pull
the stat

Now i need to modify the formula to see if it's the player and the
club.

Any ideas - I have been trying to use AND and Match but can't get the
formula to look past the first instance of the name.

Thanks

Andrew
