[edit] Overview
In the spring of 1970 a soccer club came into existence out of the southern region of Sydney known as St George. The club would over the cming years have one of the biggest effects on the nations prowess. That club was to be and still is called Hurstville Zagreb Soccer Club. Today that same tradition carries on as Hurstville Zagreb SC constant and continually progresses.
In November 1970 Hurstville Zagreb Soccer Club's humble beginnings began in the New South Wales Soccer Association playing out of the St George district. While playing in these surroundings the club won numerous minor premierships and grand finals.
In 1991 the club was promoted into the New South Wales Soccer Federation in Division Five. It has been in this league where Hurstville Zagreb SC has really shone through. In ten years the club has moved up through the divisions playing as high as the State Super League in the 2004 and 2005 seasons. The club proudly plays its soccer in Division One.
Over the years the club has been involved in the development of a number of Socceroos and professional footballers, such as, Ante Milicic, Ante Covic, Eddy Bosnar, Ante Moric, Joe Vrkic, Mark Rudan and Luka Glavas. These players only represent the tip of the iceberg of players who come through the ranks of Hurstville Zagreb SC.
