History
The Werribee Football Club was established as a team in the Victorian Football Association (VFA) in 1965. In those early years the team was in the 2nd division, and although success was not immediate, over the past ten years the Tigers have come of age. The club has played a major role in the finals for the past twenty years, being minor premiers in 1991, 1992, 1993 and 1998, winning the premiership in 1993, and being runners up in 1991, 1998, 2001 and 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
