The football associations of <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Germany" title="Germany">Germany</a> and <a href="/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Switzerland</a> duly complied, but <a href="/wiki/The_Football_Association" title="The Football Association">the Football Association</a> of England refused to nominate a club.

An alternative explanation, popular in the town itself, is that Lipton had wanted to send <a href="/wiki/Arsenal_F.C." title="Arsenal F.C.">Woolwich Arsenal</a> to the Championship – an instruction to his secretary to "contact W.A." led to West Auckland being mistakenly contacted. However, a review of the facts casts doubt on this theory; at the time Woolwich Arsenal had only just been promoted from the <a href="/wiki/Football_League_Second_Division" title="Football League Second Division">Second Division</a> and were not the famous club they are today, being relatively small and unsuccessful compared to many other <a href="/wiki/Football_League" class="mw-redirect" title="Football League">Football League</a> sides. In addition, there is no documentary evidence to suggest any sort of link between Sir Thomas Lipton and Woolwich Arsenal, so it is unclear why he would have chosen them ahead of any other English team. Indeed, recent research clearly shows evidence that West Auckland were the expected team.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg/220px-Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="171" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg/330px-Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg/440px-Westauckland_fc_1909_team.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="779" /></a><figcaption>West Auckland with the Thomas Lipton Cup won in 1909</figcaption></figure> <p>West Auckland duly made the journey to <a href="/wiki/Turin" title="Turin">Turin</a>, where the first tournament was being held, many of the players paying out of their own pocket to do so.

By the rules of competition, they were awarded the trophy to keep in perpetuity. </p><p>Upon their return home, the club was forced to pawn the trophy to the landlady of the local hotel because of financial problems. It remained with her family until 1960 when a village appeal raised money to return the cup to the club. The cup was then stolen in 1994 and despite the best efforts of local police and a £2,000 reward it was never found. An exact replica of the cup can now be found in a secure cabinet in the West Auckland Working Men's Club. </p><p>The story of the club's first success was turned into a <a href="/wiki/Television_movie" class="mw-redirect" title="Television movie">television movie</a> in 1982 – <i><a href="/wiki/The_World_Cup:_A_Captain%27s_Tale" title="The World Cup: A Captain's Tale">The World Cup: A Captain's Tale</a></i>, produced by <a href="/wiki/Tyne_Tees_Television" class="mw-redirect" title="Tyne Tees Television">Tyne Tees Television</a> and starring <a href="/wiki/Dennis_Waterman" title="Dennis Waterman">Dennis Waterman</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="History_after">History after</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=West_Auckland_Town_F.C.&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: History after"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Debts forced the club to leave the Northern League in 1912 and fold, although in 1914 it was reconstituted as "West Auckland Town F.C.", which remains to this day.<sup id="cite_ref-clubhistory_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-clubhistory-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although it has never quite reached the same heights it did at the start of the 20th century, it did win the Northern League in 1960 and 1961, and were <a href="/wiki/FA_Amateur_Cup" title="FA Amateur Cup">FA Amateur Cup</a> runners-up in 1961, losing to <a href="/wiki/Walthamstow_Avenue_F.C." title="Walthamstow Avenue F.C.">Walthamstow Avenue</a>. They still remain rivals with <a href="/wiki/Bishop_Auckland_F.C." title="Bishop Auckland F.C.">Bishop Auckland</a> to this day. Having been founded in 1889, the <a href="/wiki/Northern_League_(football)" class="mw-redirect" title="Northern League (football)">Northern League</a> is the oldest surviving league after <a href="/wiki/The_Football_League" class="mw-redirect" title="The Football League">The Football League</a>. </p><p>In the 1998–99 season West Auckland reached the first round proper of the F.A. Cup for the third time with an away tie against <a href="/wiki/Yeovil_Town_F.C." title="Yeovil Town F.C.">Yeovil Town</a>. After a 2–2 draw at Yeovil and a 1–1 draw at West Auckland, a penalty shoot-out saw Yeovil through. David Bayles took charge in the summer of 2005 and led the side to 5th place in his first season (2005–06) and then 6th place in the following season. 2007–08 began with an FA Cup run that saw West within minutes of a place in the final qualifying round of the FA Cup before defeat in a replay to Bamber Bridge. After his shock resignation, Lee Ellison had a short lived spell as manager before Phil Owers took over and steadied the side and led them to escape the drop zone. Owers departed early in the 2008–09 season with Brian Fairhurst appointed as the new player-manager. However, after 10 games without a win, Ray Gowan came in but even he was unable to arrest the slide and promptly resigned at the end of the campaign. West Auckland were able to retain their First Division status, however, due to Sunderland Nissan folding. The club then received the news that, to celebrate their centenary of winning the Sir Thomas Lipton Trophy, Juventus had agreed to a re-match in Italy, which the Italian club's under-20 team won 7–1.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Shortly afterwards Hartlepool legend <a href="/wiki/Brian_Honour" title="Brian Honour">Brian Honour</a> was appointed the new manager in the hot seat. </p><p>Fairhurst and his successor Wilf Constantine struggled to get West back on track and both had short lived spells in charge. For the third season in a row, a new manager was appointed – Peter Dixon arrived on 7 December 2009, swapping a promotion push with Crook for a relegation battle. West finished the season in 16th place despite having a −41 goal difference and 5 points from 19 matches when Dixon took the reins. </p><p>In both 2011–12 and 2013–14 West Auckland reached the final of the <a href="/wiki/FA_Vase" title="FA Vase">FA Vase</a>, held at <a href="/wiki/Wembley_Stadium" title="Wembley Stadium">Wembley Stadium</a>. In 2012 they lost 2–0 against fellow Northern League side Dunston UTS and two years later, lost 1–0 to Sholing with a deflected goal separating the sides whilst Jonathan Gibson hit the post in stoppage time. After Dixon's departure a difficult spell followed with several managerial appointments being short lived. In 2017–18 Gary Forrest joined the club; in the 2018–19 season West Auckland reached the FA Vase quarter-final before losing to <a href="/wiki/Chertsey_Town" class="mw-redirect" title="Chertsey
