The Ferntree Gully Football Club has a proud and rich history which spans for over 130 years and were established in 1892.
In 1938 the FTGFC changed to a new jumper after the completion of the 1937 season going from the Navy blue and light blue band to a Light Blue and Navy Insignia. FTG won the 1938 Premiership in the new Jumper design. The Insignia was later changed at the completion of 1948 season.
In 1949 we added the Navy ‘V’. Some great Players to wear it were; Wally Tew, Donny Downs, Jim Campbell, Colin Baker, Joe Pickett, Fred Schultz and Teddy Beaumont. The late great Bob DeCoite represented the Gully in this Jumper.
In 1938, FTG beat Belgrave in the Grand Final to secure their 7th premiership. Colin Baker was B.O.G and Ruckman Cyril Rounds kicked 5.
