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. 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.

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.

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

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, ???, ???
