CITY BROTHERS FC

On 3 February, 1983 City Soccer Club was officially formed. Doug Osborne was the main driver of the formation of the new club, with help from Peter Zahra, Brian Amor, Jim Curtis, Andy Gillan and Peter Dunne (First Coach). The club was established with players, mainly from new people arriving from all over Australia, but also from the previous Brothers Soccer Club which folded at the end of the 1982 season. For their first pre-season competition, the players wore country strips and offered country colts an avenue to advance into premier grade. The Club selected the colours of blue and white due to the influence of the players from a Scottish background... Andy then approached John Jamieson to be the clubs coach. After that, Andy, Brian and John put together the teams who went on to win Grand Finals in 1984, 1985 and 1986 and the rest is history... In 1993, City Soccer Club affiliated with the Brothers Junior Soccer Club and changed its name to City Brothers Soccer Club.
