Club Atlético Douglas Haig Why would a club from Pergamino, just north of Buenos Aires, name itself after a British first world war Field Marshall? According to the club: "On 18 November 1918 after the resounding victory of the Allied forces, a group of British workers on the Argentinian central railroad decided to start a club to participate in the local soccer championship. This required the consent and support of the chief of the railway, Ronald Leslie, who, as a condition, requested that the club take the name of General Douglas Haig."
