Newcastle University Football Club
HISTORY
Firstly, please note that Newcastle University College was established in 1951 on the Tighes Hill campus (now the Newcastle TAFE campus) and it was an offshoot of the NSW University of Technology which later became the University of NSW so we were never part of the University of Sydney.
The history of the creation of clubs is at best sketchy as some sports played as teams or socially (as you would expect) before they affiliated as a club so it is hard to say precisely when a sport became active on campus. Our records indicate that in 1962, university players were invited by the Tech College to join their Soccer Team but that the Men's Soccer Club affiliated as a club with the University of Newcastle Sports Union in 1965. I don't have a precise date for affiliation. In 1966 the Soccer Club team
won the Inter-varsity competition.
The Sports Union was formed in 1960 and the University became autonomous in 1965. The University moved from Tighes Hill to the Shortland campus (now Callaghan) over a period of years from 1965.

Uni Victory song
It’s a grand old team to see!
And if …you know…your history
Its enough to make your heart go
Boom! Boom! Boom!
We don’t care what (opposition) say! (....)
What the fuck do we care!
Cos we only know that there’s going to be a show!
And the uni boys will be there!
