Just googled it... never knew that 

 

They could have invited Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester United to inaugurate their fine new stadium. Instead a great Italian institution summoned the club standing 12th in the third tier of English football to join Thursday's opening ceremony and, if there has been a more elegant gesture in the history of football, it would be good to hear of it.

For it was Notts County, in 1903, who answered the call of a Juventus member, an Englishman named John Savage, to send a set of the club's black and white striped shirts to replace the pink numbers worn by the players of the Italian club since their founding by a group of students six years earlier. Thus did Notts, who were then midway through a spell in the old First Division, save Juventus from a century of being confused with pink-shirted Palermo.

Yes - very interesting history between Notts County and Juventus. From my understanding, Juventus played at the Meadows for Notts 150th anniversary.

Which is the lowest placed team in England that have supplied a player to a World Cup tournament?

What's the answer? Or a clue...

My instinct/gut feeling is that it's some non-league player that made an appearance for Jamaica or Trinidad & Tobago.
