Middlesex Wanderers A.F.C.

[1][3] The club's constitution set out its remit as: The team included Alaway (goalkeeper), Palmer, Fisher, Alley, Gibson, Mitchell, Humphreys, Jeacocke, Guscott, Bowman and Cookson.

[6] The club co-operated with the Football Association (the FA) in undertaking a tour to the West Indies with a team comprising probables and possibles for selection for the 1960 Olympics in Rome.

Norman Creek, who was to manage the British team, was liaison officer on the tour so was able to assess his potential players, who in turn were able to accustom themselves to the hotter temperatures and harder, drier pitches that they could expect in Italy.

[3][7] Later that year, Middlesex Wanderers were put forward by the FA to accept an invitation from the Nigerian government to play matches as part of the country's independence celebrations.

[10] A trophy presented by the club on their return visit in 1969, intended to encourage youth football, is still used for the National High School Soccer Tournament,[11] and they have revisited the country several times since.
