ResumoEver since 1884, when miners from the Minmi colliery formed the Minmi Rangers, soccer clubs have continually sprung up within coalmines, factories and workshops. In Britain, such famous clubs as Arsenal and West Ham United were formed by workers at the Woolwich Arsenal and Thames Ironworks, respectively. No Australian workers have been able to build such illustrious clubs as these, but, in terms of enthusiasm, local workers have always equalled those who first began the famous 'Gunners' and 'Hammers'.
