History[]

A public meeting was called to be held at the St Albans Fire Station in September 1946. The reason for this meeting was to form a Football Club, that is the St Albans Football Club as we know it today. Twenty six people attended this meeting and Mr W E Perrett was elected as President for the first year. Moreover, Mr J Douglas and Mr S Taylor were appointed secretary and coach respectively. The club was to be located at Errington Reserve. Mr S Taylor and Mr A McPherson were elected as captain and vice captain respectively.

In March, St Albans FC were officially accepted in the Western Region Football League, which at that time was known as Footscray District Football League. Competitive matches of the league were to start on 26 April of the following month. Nevertheless, before the commencement of the league, St Albans opted to play a practise match against ICI from Deer Park, which was actually St Albans first ever.
