They're all big clubs with great traditions and history. Wasn't it the Woolwich Arsenal that the Italians were expecting to represent England in the "first World Cup" in the early 1900s
If the Dennis Waterman film of the Lipton trophy was accurate, the Italians expected the world renowned Woolwich Arsenal because they had the same initials as the mining team who were actually there.
In typical Alf Tupper fashion the miners beat the best that Europe could muster to win the trophy, hammering Juve in the final.
edit... and a quick google finds the site of the Durham miners, West Auckland AFC:
