Abstract

Officially formed in 1873, there is reference as early as 1859 to a 'scratch team' from St Kilda. Nicknamed the Saints, and with 'When the Saints go marchin' in' as its theme song, the club soon had a membership of 60 and played in a paddock next to the present St Kilda Bowling Club. St Kilda became one of the original members of the Victorian Football Association in 1877.
