2024 Updates

Several Matchday Programmes have been added to the appropriate seniors Seasons pages. They are:


May 30 v Clarinda
August 22 v Port Melbourne


April 30 v Seaford United
August 20 v Hawthorn Citizens


April 15 v Chelsea
May 20 v Hawthorn Citizens
August 5 v Springvale United
August 12 v Clarinda

Also the 1989 Presentation Night Matchday has been added to the Library.

Many new photos have been added to the various galleries:

Seniors - 1977 & 1996

Reserves - 1977 & 1997

There are additions to the Miscelleneous Mystery galleries for the 1990's whilst similar galleries have now been added for the 1970's and 1980's.

The glaring hole in the banner image has been filled with the arrival of the original The Dominoes club emblem.

Three senior team line-ups and three reserve team line-ups for 1975 have been added to the respective Seasons pages.

On the main Melbourne Soccer website better scans have been made of the 1951 VASFA Handbook and the August 7, 1954 and July 23, 1955 issues of Soccer News.

Welcome to Moorabbin City Soccer Club History

This site has been created to maintain the memory of the Moorabbin City Soccer Club.

They can be found in the SEASONS section. Many seasons results and details are incomplete, if you have any additional information, please get in touch. Research to complete the records is ongoing.

Vale Trevor Bishop 1947-2024

Trevor Bishop, a great player and truly the nicest bloke you could hope to meet, passed away late last year after enduring the terrible motor neurone disease (MND) for a number of years. He will be remembered for his blistering shooting strength, and his booming laugh. He played in every senior team at Moorabbin City, from the firsts to the reserves and thirds and even the fourths. He was denied the 1982 Metropolitan League Division Four Best and Fairest award on countback after tying with North Geelong's Drago Krajina in the days when the V.S.F. wouldn't issue multiple medals as they do now.  Living opposite Bailey Reserve, he was often helping out around the club in ways other than scoring goals on the park.  A true gentleman with a cheerful disposition that made everyone enjoy being in his company. It is a blessing to have known him. Click on images to enlarge. Click on video to play
