HISTORY? WHAT HISTORY?
In early 2007, the committee of the club sat down and discussed the identity of the club. It was everyones opinion that the majority of players and parents knew little or nothing about the history of the club. We felt club members had little sense of identity or attachment to the club. A big part of this stems from the lack of knowledge of what Crusaders achieved and what the club stood for in the past. Given that its history was covered in glory, this was even more a travesty.
With that in mind, we have set as one of our goals, reviving the achievements of the past. Crusaders is one of the great clubs of Waterford football. We should take it upon ourselves not to forget that. That memory should be brought into every game. The honour of pulling on a Crusaders jersey is not one to be taken lightly.
These pages could not have been assembled if it was not for the family of our co-founder, Mr Tom Horan. Crusaders history archive has stopped at 1967. I am working at collecting more information from the City Archives. Once I have this, I will update the remainder of this page. If there is any information you have regarding Crusaders FCs history or would like to share a story or pictures of the past, please email me at treasurer@crusadersafc.net
