:"This page relates to the association football club known as South Melbourne FC. For the former Australian rules football club, see Sydney Swans."

South Melbourne Football Club is an Australian association football club based in South Melbourne, Victoria.

Considered the most successful association football club in Australia, they have won four national championships, a string of Victorian State League titles, and represented Oceania in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship. Along with the Marconi Stallions, they were one of two clubs to compete in every season of the National Soccer League.

The club currently competes in the Victorian Premier League.

History

Formation in 1959

The club was formed in 1959 with the amalgamation of three struggling Melbourne football clubs – South Melbourne United, the oldest of the three clubs with a history dating back to the early 1900s, the Greek-backed Yarra Park Aiantas, and Hellenic [http://www.smfc.com.au/clubinfo/default.aspx South Melbourne FC ] ] . Theo Marmaras, initiator of the merger proposal and president of Hellenic, became the first president of the new club. In recognition of the large Greek support base of Hellenic and Yarra Park, which were also the best-supported of the three clubs, the new club was named South Melbourne Hellas, the name by which it was to be known for the majority of its first 40 years. The first emblem reflected the colour scheme of the Flag of Greece. The first uniform was that of South Melbourne United, which consisted of white with a red 'V' around the collar. Later on they would adopt predominantly blue and white strips, with various designs throughout the seasons, with the most common being a predominantly royal blue strip.

1960-1969

South Melbourne won the Victorian First Division (North) championship of 1960 [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/1960M1NT.html 1960 Victorian Metropolitan League Division One North - Final Table ] ] , the club’s inaugural year of competition. The club was promoted to the Victorian State League First Division the following year, where it finished fifth in its first year [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/1961SLT.html 1961 Victorian State League - Final Table ] ] . With a number of astute signings – Tommy Anderson (George Cross), Ernie Ackerley (Manchester United), Leo Damianakos (Kalamata), and Jim Pyrgolios (Panathinaikos), the club won the division championship in 1962, 1964, and 1965 [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/CHAMPS.html Victorian Premier League Champions ] ] . In 1965, South Melbourne secured the services of 35 year old former AEK Athens FC star Kostas Nestoridis as player-coach. The result was a significant increase in crowd attendances (more than double) and a fourth league title in 1966. Eager to repeat its success, the club recruited a number of Greek and local footballers, but they failed to make any impact. By 1969, the import experiment was considered a failure and most of the Greek players returned to their homeland.

1970-1979

In 1970, the club focussed its attention on recruiting local footballers. It soon signed two players that would become South Melbourne’s greatest players, Steve Walker and striker Jim Armstrong. South Melbourne missed out on the title by a point in the 1971 season, edged out by Footscray JUST [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/1971SLT.html 1971 Victorian State League - Final Table ] ] , but with Armstrong scoring goals aplenty, South Melbourne went on to win the championship in 1972. The season also saw coach Bill Curran consolidate the first team’s strength by signing midfielder Peter Bourne (Burnley) and promoting youngsters Giovanni Batticiotto and Bill Hasapis. The club continued its successful run with the 1974 title, second place in 1975 [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/1975SLT.html 1975 Victorian State League - Final Table ] ] , and with star recruits Jimmy Mackay, Peter Ollerton and Duncan Cummings, capped off its final year in the Victorian State League by winning the 1976 championship.

National Soccer League foundation club

South Melbourne joined Mooroolbark, Heidelberg United, and Footscray JUST as Melbourne’s participants in the newly-formed National Soccer League (NSL) in 1977 [Hay, 2006, The World Game Downunder, pp 121-122] . A mass exodus of its best players (Armstrong, Bourne, Mackay, Walker), saw the team slump to 11th place in its inaugural year, but a recruiting drive by coach Dave McClaren gave the club a respectable third in 1978. It wasn’t to last. South Melbourne finished at the bottom of the league table in 1979.

1980-1989

The recruitment of Alan Davidson, Steve Blair, Branko Buljevic, Alun Evans (Liverpool), and Charlie Egan, helped South Melbourne climb the NSL ladder in the early part of the decade but it failed to make any significant impact. Some solid player signings (Oscar Crino, Doug Brown, Bobby Russell, John Yzendoorn) gave the club some respectability, but a combination of committee problems and a string of coaches, never allowed the team to settle and gain consistency. South Melbourne finished first on the league ladder in 1984 [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/1984/NSLTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] , but in a newly-restructured NSL competition, it also had to win the finals series to win the title. The club powered past local rivals Heidelberg United in the Southern Division play-offs, and edged out Sydney Olympic in the Grand Final to win the 1984 national championship.

In 1985, South Melbourne could not repeat the success of the previous year. Despite finishing in first place [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/1985/NSLTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] , it was knocked out of the finals series by local rivals Brunswick Juventus and Preston Lions [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/1985/Playoff.html Australian Soccer ] ] . A major overhaul by coach Brian Garvey saw a number of new signings being made, including youngsters Paul Trimboli, David Healy, Kimon Taliadoros and Harry Micheil. The young team put in some memorable performances as the decade came to a close, finishing in the top half of the league table, but failed to win another championship. The club appointed Ferenc Puskás as coach for the 1989/90 season, helping South win the NSL Cup tournament for that season, as well backing up their 1988 Dockerty Cup win with victory in the 1989 tournament [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/Cup.html Dockerty Cup Winners ] ] .

1990-1999

The club's change of fortune continued next season, with the club winning its second national championship, beating Melbourne Croatia on penalties after a tense 1-1 score line in normal time [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9091/Playoff.html Australian Soccer ] ] . The team boasted some of the finest Australian football talent in Ange Postecoglou, Michael Petersen, Paul Wade, Mehmet Durakovic, Paul Trimboli, and Con Boutsianis. The feat could not be repeated the next year as the club was eliminated by eventual premiers Adelaide City in a Preliminary Final [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9192/Playoff.html Australian Soccer ] ] .

Former player Jim Pyrgolios replaced Puskás for the 1992/93 season which saw the club finish first on the points table during the regular season [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9293/NSLTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] . South Melbourne was again eliminated during the finals series by Adelaide City and Marconi-Fairfield, the latter inflicting a 7-0 thrashing [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9293/Playoff.html] . In 1993/94, the club finished second [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9394/NSLTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] , but failed yet again to progress to the Grand Final, courtesy of Melbourne Croatia and their nemesis, Adelaide City [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9394/Playoff.html Australian Soccer ] ] . For the 1994/95 season, the club hired former Socceroos coach Frank Arok to replace Pyrgolios. The round one game from that season was the club's last at its Middle Park home before moving temporarily to Olympic Park while they awaited the completion of their new home, the 14,000-capacity Bob Jane Stadium, on the site of the former Lake Oval. The club finished sixth on the ladder [ [http://www.rsssf.com/tablesa/aushist.html Australia - List of Final Tables ] ] , but was eliminated again in the Preliminary Final by the Melbourne Knights [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9495/Playoff.html Australian Soccer ] ] . Arok left the club after a disappointing 1995/96 season, which saw South miss the finals for the first time since 1989 [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9596/ALTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] .

In 1996, the club was required by Soccer Australia, along with clubs all over the country, to change its emblem and name in an attempt to move football into the Australian mainstream and away from direct club-level association with its migrant roots. As a consequence, South Melbourne Hellas reappeared as South Melbourne Lakers. Its new name and emblem was not well received by many of its Greek supporters. The name change also drew attention from American NBA club LA Lakers, who threatened legal action.

Under new coach and former captain Ange Postecoglou, the club bounced back in season 1996/97, finishing third on the table [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9697/ALTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] and eventually being eliminated by Sydney United in the Preliminary Final [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9697/Playoff.html 1997 National Soccer League Playoff results ] ] . The club capped off the end of the decade with impressive performances, becoming Australian champions in 1998 and 1999, thanks to performances by Paul Trimboli, Vaughan Coveny, Con Blatsis and former PAOK FC star John Anastasiadis. In the 1998 Grand Final South defeated league newcomer Carlton 2-1 with a controversial late goal by Boutsianis [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9798/Playoff.html 1998 National Soccer League Playoff results ] ] . That win was followed up in 1999 by a come-from-behind 3-2 win against Sydney United in the Grand Final [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/9899/Playoff.html 1999 National Soccer League Playoff results ] ] . By now, South Melbourne had dropped the "Lakers" moniker and become South Melbourne Soccer Club, and sported a new emblem - the current blue and white shield with stars (each star representing a national championship). They followed up their fourth domestic title with the 1999 Oceania Club Championship, a win that qualified them for the 2000 FIFA Club World Championship in Brazil.

2000-

Grouped with Vasco Da Gama, Necaxa, and Manchester United in the 2000 FIFA Club World Championships, South Melbourne lost all three games. Despite the losses, the club gained some respectability amongst its peers with its performance, as well as some much needed exposure on the world stage, something that had been severely lacking for Australian football clubs at the time.

On its return from Brazil, South Melbourne failed to make the finals in the 1999/2000 season, finishing well outside the top six finals spots [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/19992000/ALTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] . Before the new season started Postecoglou left South Melbourne in order to take up the position of Australian youth coach, and was replaced by former South player and team mate Mike Petersen. At the end of the 2000/01 home and away season, South had finished a comfortable 8 points clear of Wollongong [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20002001/ALTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] , but lost both legs of its major semi final against the Wolves 2-1 [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20002001/Playoff.html 2001 National Soccer League Playoff results ] ] , meaning South would have to win the prelimanary final in order to earn a rematch. South duly did so with a 2-0 victory over Sydney Olympic, but in the grand final put in a lackluster performance, once more losing 2-1.

Prior to the start of the 2001/2002 season, South suffered a major blow as Petersen, along with several players including Boutsianis and Andy Vlahos left to join the Football Kingz. A young squad under the management of Eddie Krnčević struggled, occupying the bottom rungs of the table half way through the season, before the return in controversial circumstances of Boutsianis sparked a major revival, which saw the club finish fifth in the standings [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20012002/ALTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] , eventually being eliminated by eventual champions Olympic Sharks in the finals [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20012002/Playoff.html 2002 National Soccer League Playoff results ] ] .

Krnčević was replaced by former player Danny Wright for the 2002/03 season, but the club failed to reach the finals by a point [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20022003/ALTable.html Australian Soccer ] ] . Stuart Munro took over as coach for the 2003/04 season, with the club finishing fifth [] , eventually being eliminated by a penalty deep into extra time against Adelaide United [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/20032004/Playoff.html 2004 National Soccer League Playoff results ] ] in what turned out to be South's final game in the NSL.

With the combined factors of the demise of the NSL, and poor financial management, South Melbourne fell into voluntary administration and lost most of its squad. With Melbourne being allocated just one license for an Hyundai A-League team, which was widely expected to go to a new franchise, and with South in extreme financial difficulty, South chose not to lodge an application to join the new competition.

Return to Victorian competition

Entering the Victorian Premier League in 2005 as South Melbourne Football Club, and with a new team under former player and new coach John Anastasiadis, the club reached the Preliminary Final of the VPL, going down to their old rivals Heidelberg United [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/2005PLR.html 2005 Victorian Premier League - 2005 Season Results ] ] . The season was highlighted by fluctuating crowd attendances at home games, national media attention paid to crowd trouble with fans of Preston Lions, but also by good performances by a young and talented side, which before the season had been a relegation favourite. In 2006, South finished third on the table courtesy of a strong home record [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/2006VCT.html 2006 Victorian Premier League - Final Table ] ] , including a record 7-0 thrashing of old foe Melbourne Knights [ [http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/States/VIC/2006VCR.html 2006 Vodafone Cup - 2006 Season Results ] ] . South eventually progressed to the final by defeating Green Gully and Altona Magic in successive weeks. In the final itself, once more against Altona Magic, a second half goal by Gianni De Nittis was enough to see South win the game 1-0, and win their eighth Victorian championship, their first in 30 years and first since returning to the competition in 2005. In 2007 South Melbourne had a poor year finishing in 7th spot missing the finals. After a poor start in 2008, Anastasiadis resigned. With another former player Michael Michaelokopoulos taking charge, the team moved away from the relegation zone, but still missed the finals.

2010/11 A-League Proposal

On the 14th of February 2007, South Melbourne announced their interest in becoming the second Victorian club in the A-League. In June 2008 South Melbourne FC sent a letter of interest to join the league along with ten other teams. In 2008, South Melbourne lodged an application for the 2nd Melbourne licence as part of the Southern Cross FC consortium. On 26th September 2008, the Football Federation Australia announced it was commencing exclusive negotiations with the rival 'Melbourne Heart' bid for the 2nd licence.

Rivalries

Traditional club rivalries

South Melbourne has, and has had, a variety of rivalries over the years. Its best known rivalry is with fellow Melbourne Greek-founded club Heidelberg United (known, traditionally, as the "Greek Derby") , particularly from the mid 1970s until the mid 1980s, when both sides were near the top simultaneously. Heidelberg's decline from the mid 1980s onwards, and their eventual demotion from the NSL altogether, lessened the rivalry somewhat, as the clubs did not meet in a competitive match for ten years until South dropped down into the Victorian Premier League in 2005.

South also had rivalries with Sydney Olympic and West Adelaide Hellas, both Greek-founded teams from interstate. Though the latter rivalry was somewhat minor, the one with the former gained somewhat more significance over the years. South had defeated Olympic in the 1984 Grand Final, and coupled with Heidelberg's decline and eventual demotion, the two sides became clearly the two leading Greek-backed teams in the country, and fought for that unofficial mantle.

City rivalries

South's strongest city-based rivalry aside from Heidelberg, has been with the Melbourne Knights. Since the Knights entry into the NSL in 1984, the two sides have been the best performers of the Melbourne NSL teams, as well as for the final few seasons, the only two left from Melbourne. As well as playing numerous finals matches against each other, they also played in the 1990/91 Grand Final, which South won in dramatic cirumstances. The return to the VPL of both sides however has lessened the rivalry somewhat.

Though Carlton SC was a shortlived entity, games between the two sides generally drew good crowds as well as providing good contests on the field. The rivalry peaked in 1997/98, Carlton's debut year, when the teams finished in the top two spots on the table at the end of the home and away season, and going on to meet in the Grand Final, which South won with a controversial late goal.

A rivalry also exists between fans of South and those of the Preston Lions, fueled primarily not by football, but by the Macedonian issue. In more recent times contests between the two sides have been classified as "home club member only" games, after fans from both sides were involved in scuffles in 2005, their first competitive meeting for over a decade, as Preston had been relegated from the NSL 12 years earlier.

Other rivalries

As South has usually been at or near the top of the standings throughout its history, as well as in the past being one of the best supported clubs in the country, rivalries with other clubs from interstate also formed, though these tended to ebb and flow depending on the success and pulling power of the other sides. In the early to mid 1990's in particular, rivalries with Adelaide City and the Marconi Stallions were fairly strong. Later on, as these rivalries fell away, Perth Glory, with good crowds and generally good performances, came into play, with Perth's record non-finals crowd still being against South, and South getting numerous 10,000 plus crowds against the Glory. In the last season of the NSL the two teams battled out for the prestigious "Australian Day Cup", which South Melbourne retained after a 0-0 draw at home.
