Description
Eastern Suburbs Association Football Club Inc was formed in 1934 as a result of the amalgamation between Tamaki United AFC (formed 1924) and Glen Innes (formed 1930), and it has proved a great nursery for Auckland football. During it's 72 years of existence Eastern Suburbs has won every honour available to a club in New Zealand soccer. Titles include:
Chatham Cup: 1951, 53, 65, 68 & 69
Rothmans National League: 1971
Northern League Champions: 1965 & 66
Auckland FA Champions: 1948, 50, 51, 52, 53, 57 & 62
While these victories have brought great prestige and publicity to the club, it views its greatest success as having provided a recreational and sporting environment for thousands of youngsters and their families in and around the Eastern Suburbs of Auckland. It has been able to do this because successive club committees have pledged their commitment to fostering the development of junior and teenage soccer.
