So this takes me back to a question I've posted in the past and not sure it was ever fully resolved, or I forgot, is what's significance in team names:

Wanderers, Rangers, Rovers, and now I see Strollers.

It seems that some sort nomadic name has been used extensively in the naming of football clubs. I'm guessing it has something to do with perhaps the teams travelled to matches all over England? So is it that those clubs travelled to matches were perhaps others of that area played only locally?

In short, a travel team? Seems that CorkedHat may have shed light on this at one point.

We were never called that, just St Andrews Football & Cricket Club.

Good quiz question there - '"Which current Premier League was founded by teachers?" - though in that format it probably has a limited shelf-life.
