Mitcham FC History Series: Part 2 - 1888 A Club Is Born
If you talk about the formation of the Mitcham Football Club, you must first talk about Mitcham’s rural Community and its founding father – William ‘John’ McGlone.

Mitcham FC History Series: Part 4 - 1890’s An Eventful First Decade

Under a new president, Bernie Coleman, Mitcham made a slashing start to the 1980 season, winning the opening 7 games, and eventually won 15 of the 18 home and away games. Yet there were times when coach Thomas felt some of his players struggled. After losing to Scoresby midway through the season he asked each player to give him a written report as to why the player was beaten.

1981 Senior Premiership
Mitcham made it a hat-trick of premierships by winning the 1981 flag. Even the Eastern District Football League was becoming concerned about one club dominating the competition. Again, the team showed great consistency throughout the season although it had to win by a huge margin in the last game, at Bayswater, to take second place from East Burwood on percentage.
