I seem to recall that the Old Five referred to the playing positions of the time. Sides were based on a two-three- five formation (or W formation. This was usually keeper,right back and left back (2). Right half-back,Centre half and left half-back (3). Then the forwards of right winger,inside right,centre forward,inside left and left winger (5).
That was always my understanding so I hope that this helps.

We were warned,but did it anyway.
