HISTORY

Although Pascoe Vale Soccer Club were formed in 1966, the first known Pascoe Vale Soccer Club wereformed by British migrants in 1932 playing in the Victorian Division Three and competing in the historical, Dockerty Cup.
The Club was reformed in 1966 and Pascoe Vale’s first President was the late, Michael Puljevic.
Pascoe Vale entered the now defunct District Leagues in the late 60’s, finishing third in the Central Division in 1969 after finishing second in the West Division in
1968.

When the Premier Division of the District Leagues was formed, Pascoe Vale was a member club. Many of Pascoe Vale’s players of that era went on to play at bigger clubs; Nick Boskov went to Preston Makedonia, then to Yugal in Sydney and from there switched to Canberra; John Tilovski spent two years at Footscray J.U.S.T. and Mirko Dzanovski also went to J.U.S.T.

In the late 60’s and early 70’s, Pascoe Vale’s President was George Dzanovski, a man who carried the club through some trying times. In 1976, Frank Patti was appointed coach. Patti was the first ever paid coach hired by the club. Chris Dzanovski was President at the time and one of the club’s greatest ever players, Steve Dzanovski was at his peak. He played with Pascoe Vale from 1966 until his retirement in 1981.

When the Provisional Leagues were formed in the 1970’s, Pascoe Vale were in Division One but the club hit upon hard times, eventually slipping to Division Four.
The move was arrested in 1982 when current club President, Jim Tona took over and Pascoe Vale started it’s surge back up the leagues highlighted by winning the 1984 Provisional League Second Division Championship success, the first league title win in the club’s history. Pascoe Vale went through moderate success during the 1980’s, however, won the Metropolitan Division Four Championship in 1992 with the likes of club legends, Pepi Colakovski and Nick Katsis who are still heavily involved at the club today.
