Welcome to Moorabbin City Soccer Club History

Image
This site has been created to maintain the memory of the Moorabbin City Soccer Club. The CLUB HISTORY page contains an overall summary of the club's history since the foundation in 1949.  It contains the known records of the senior, reserve, thirds and colts teams from 1950-2002.

Ian Rigg Collection Updates

Last week I visited former player/committeeman/President Ian Rigg, after he had recently met up with Tony Morgan. Ian has kindly supplied me with some materials to add to the archives on this website.   They include a missing Matchday from 1983 v Geelong. I've also added an issue of Bulletin Board from 1977 (No.2) to the Library page. Added to the team photo galleries are:   The following team photos need a bit more identification for labeling: Seniors 1978 (has 1978 written on it but we already have 1978 team photos in a different kit so it may be 1979) Guesses so far, please get in touch if you have answers: Back: Peter Fairbanks?, Mark Watling, Keith Watling, Steve Thomas, Tony Wynton, ???, ???
