History

The club was founded in 1953, it was promoted in 1959 to the top division of the State of Western Australia. For the 1978 season, the club was renamed Olympic Kingsway. The club won both the 1978 and 1980 Western Australian State League titles, which qualified them for the 1979 and 1981 NSL Cups. During this period, they also won the Top 4 Cup 3 times in succession (1978-1980), as well as their first night series win in 1980.[1]

They moved back to the Amateur Premier Division for six seasons (2006-2011), and since that time have been in the State League Division 2.

Since the 1990s, Olympic Kingsway has developed many future Australian professional football players, including Nick Ward, Stan Lazaridis, Richard Garcia and Daniel De Silva.

gollark: I suppose onboard programming capability would be nice, so maybe just some sort of simple macroey support in the calculatorial language.
