The 1915 Victorian Soccer Football Association season appears to be its first in the Melbourne league competition.
In 1927, Thistle beat Navy 5-2 to win the Dockerty cup at the Melbourne Motordome.[1]
Throughout its existence, the club participated in the Football Victoria state league system, where it spent twenty-two of its twenty-four seasons in the Victorian State First Tier league, now the National Premier Leagues Victoria.[2]
As of the 2020 season, Footscray is still regarded as one of the most successful Victorian clubs, with five first tier premierships, one conference premiership[3] one championship and four Dockerty Cups.[4]
