WP:SPA creator has the same name as the writer of the main source for the article, Rob Cavallini. I'm only not prodding this because it does sound like an interesting story, but I don't think WP:Notability (sports), WP:ORG or WP:GNG are met. No good redirect or merge target available.

 * Keep - seems like there is a reasonable amount out there aside from the book reviewed here by WSC. I can also find:
 * This london newspaper article,
 * This Reading newspaper article (subscription required),
 * This newspaper report from Singapore
 * This press release about an exhibition organised by the National Football Museum and the Qatar Olympic Museum which features exhibits from their world tour.

Their tour was back in the 1930s, so it is not surprising that there is a lack of online material but, the fact that there is a book published that is dedicated to them aside, the links above show that the team attracted newspaper coverage outside of the UK at the time of the tour at a national level and also continue to receive a degree of coverage today. Additionally the possession of articles relating to the tour by the national football museum also adds weight to the idea that this is an odd but nonetheless notable team.

 * Keep and improve, based on Fenix down's research appears to meet WP:GNG. GiantSnowman 19:11, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
