History

The club was founded in 1927, and within a decade was one of the leading sides in the Victorian First Division.^{[citation needed]} The club broke ground by becoming the first successful non-Anglo migrant backed club in the state, laying the foundation for the dominance of other migrant run clubs after World War II^{[citation needed]}. While the club was unable to win a league title post-war, it still managed several victories in the Dockerty Cup, including four consecutive titles in the 1950s^{[citation needed]}. Gradually, the club's supporter base dwindled due to assimilation and lack of renewal from younger supporters, and it eventually merged with South Melbourne's Victorian league reserve side in the early 1980s^{[citation needed]}.
