After hostilities stopped when the Second World War the town of Warragul was hungry for the pursuit of sport, especially football.
The town's main club Warragul Seagulls had over one hundred players wanting to play.
A committee of enthusiastic people looked at establishing a working man football club from the workers at the local factories.
In 1948 the club was admitted to the Ellinbank & District Football League before it had officially formed.
One of the original committeemen was a past Fitzroy Football Club player so he was able to get a full set of jumpers.
