Aliens Football Club was established in 1993 and played
its first game in League 1 in Round 10 of that year, taking over the wreckage of the defunct
Amo's Allstars.
The club immediately began a long and difficult re-building phase which continued for the next
9 years. During this time the club achieved little success, never finishing higher than 7th on
the ladder, and collecting 2 Sim Spoons on the way. Many analysts considered Aliens a lost cause,
and predicted it was only a matter of time before they would disappear into a black hole forever.
However, as the 2001 season approached, the club was confident that the careful recruiting policy
of the previous 3 years would finally reap dividends. A maiden Cup campaign, including the club's
first Cup Finals win and a memorable draw with the eventual premier, was the result. Now, with a
handy mixture of established stars such as Darcy, Bell, Lappin, Pavlich, Grant and Hayes, an
impressive cast of young guns including Dal Santo, Ball, Koschitzke & Cupido, the experience of
the 2001 & 2002 Cup finals campaigns, and the confidence gained from the crushing 2003 Shield
victory, the club is intent on taking the next giant leap forward in 2004...
Round 10, season 2001 is now indelibly etched into the history of Aliens Football Club.
This The Day of the Aliens
was the day the rest of the owners were forced to stop in their tracks and pay due respect.
This was
Led by the brilliant combination of Darcy and Francou, Aliens held sway all day to snap the 16-game winning streak of reigning premier Tigers, and in doing so, win a third straight game for the first time since 1997. The soft underbelly of the Tigers corridor was torn open by the relentless Bell and Lappin, while Johnson and Ward feasted on the entrails out wide. The hideous mutilation also featured the surgical precision of James "Froggy" Clement and the downright butchery of Justin "Filthy Animal" Longmuir. And to Help the Haemorrhaging, the H factor - Hamill, Hay and Hulme - tore tissue asunder with reckless abandon. By the end of the day the feline corpse lay rotting, stinking and steaming, in the middle of its own putrid litter box. Nine years of gestating frustation had finally reached critical mass in the chest cavity of the Aliens, and with inhuman ferocity it had burst loose and wreaked havoc. And the heavens rumbled. And the people were afraid. Very afraid. Now it was released, nothing could stand in its way....

Well you fly around the cosmos, but on planet Earth you find
A game that really turns you on, can make you meld your mind
We all like football, but from a lot of teams around
Only one is inter-galactic, to Aliens we're bound...
Up there you creatures, red black and white
Smash in their faces, give them a bite
Up there you creatures, you're all Alien
Rip gouge dismember, then do it again
Now there's a lot more things to Aliens, than flying through the sky
There are tentacles and pointy ears, there are heads with just one eye
And because we're sadistic, we're vicious to the core
When they're down and out, when we've kicked their arse, (the) losers lick the floor...
Up there you creatures, red black and white
Smash in their faces, give them a bite
Up there you creatures, you're all Alien
Rip gouge dismember, then do it again
Up there you creatures, you're all Alien
Rip gouge dismember, then do it again
Up there you creatures, a team unified
We're coming to get you, there's no where to hide
Up there you creatures, red black and white
Smash in their faces, give them a bite
Up there you creatures, a team unified
We're coming to get you, there's no where to hide
There's no where to hiiiiiiiiide!
