This article is about the club that existed from 1908 to 1934. For the present club, see St Kilda SC.
The first known St Kilda Soccer Club was an association football (soccer) club based in the Melbourne suburb of St Kilda. The club was founded in late 1908 and competed in the inaugural first tier league season of the Victorian soccer system in 1909, finishing second.[1][2] In its existence, the club accumulated fifteen achievements within the state's tier one and tier two leagues, and the Dockerty Cup. The year of 1923 would see the club at its peak in finishing first on the ladder of the tier one league, then known as 'Metropolitan League Division One', winning the finals series grand final against league runners-up Footscray Thistle, and winning the Dockerty Cup twice.
Off the field, little is known about the club itself other than a handful of recorded home games were played at the former Middle Park ground in the neighboring suburb of Albert Park.[3] A photograph from 1909 shows the team wearing a dark blue shirt, white shorts and dark blue socks.[4] The club folded prior to the commencement of the 1935 season alongside fellow tier one winner Windsor and several other clubs.[5] This club also has no connection to either of the two clubs of the same name that followed in 1984–1991 and the present club founded in 2011, currently competing in the Victorian State League Division 1 (tier four).[6]
