History Of The Club

It all started in 1963 when the local Headmaster of the Albany Creek Primary School – Hec Wolter – approached a couple of newly arrived “Albany Creekers” with the concept of a sporting club. Hec has spent his life as a schoolteacher, senior master and finally at Albany Creek as Head Master – bearing in mind there were only a total of 40 studets in a maximum of five grades. Hec had been involved at his past schools in Union, League, Aussie Rules and Cricket and reached a point where he made a decision that his final sporting venture would be for the children to play the one true game - English Football. He approached Terry Smith and Gerry Archer seeking their assistance to coach the boys of the school. The foundation had been laid and the path identified.

Many boys in the district aged 4-10 started training each week in Gerry and Terry’s back garden and in 1964 the Albany Creek Junior team entered into the Junior Football Competition. It was Terry who arrived at the magnificent name of Albany Creek Excelsior  or A.C.E.for short.

To this day Gerry and Sheila Archer are actively involved in the Club and are proud of their foresight to foster an environment for the youth of Albany Creek. The great game of Football has kept them occupied and out of mischief for over 40 years.

The growth of the club has been solid over the past 20 years but moreso the past 10 years where the game has started to establish a strong identify in Australia. In 2006 ACE fielded 56 Junior Teams and 5 Senior Teams. In 2007 the club experienced the biggest growth on record leading to 63 junior teams and 5 senior Squads making ACE the largest Football Club on Brisbane’s north-side with over 700 players spanning the Junior and Senior ranks.

This club was the dream of a few to progress to where we are today and it is the vision of all involved now to keep building on that dream and take ACE Football Club to the highest possible level of competition.
