History

Cheltenham Soccer Club, also known as Cheltenham Spor, was established in 1974 by members of Melbourne's Turkish Australian community. Fifteen years later, in 1989, it changed its name to Mentone ATA Soccer Club (ATA Spor), however, in 1990 Mentone ATA Soccer Club ceased officially as a soccer club. In 1991 two friends Okan Yildar and Aykut Sakranlioglu re-established a Turkish-based Soccer Club and named it Parkdale Soccer Club (Genclik Gucu (Youth Power)), which in 1995 moved to Dingley and changed its name once again, but this time to Dingley City Soccer Club, while retaining its Turkish name of Genclik Gucu.

The club was known was Southern Stars (Genclik Gucu) Football Club, the club had outgrown the ground Chadwick Reserve in Dingley. The club's senior and reserve teams moved to Ross Reserve and then Kingston Heath Soccer Complex, while Chadwick Reserve remained the home of the club's junior teams. Today Dingley Stars FC has players from all cultural backgrounds and recently moved back to their traditional home ground Chadwick Reserve for all matches.

Match fixing scandal

On 15 September 2013 Victoria Police arrested up to ten people, including Southern Stars players David Obaze, Nick McKoy and Joe Woolley and coach, Zaya Younan. Later in September criminal charges were laid via the Victoria Police and the FFA handed Noel, Woolley, David Obaze, Nicholas McKoy and coach Zia Younan initial suspensions which prevented them from being involved in any football-related activity in Australia while the investigation was ongoing. Those bans were also extended worldwide by FIFA. Two British footballers, Reiss Noel and Joe Woolley received life-time bans from FIFA due to the incident.

Gerry Subramaniam, a Malaysian national and the Australian ring-leader of the betting syndicate behind the match fixing, was sentenced to three years jail in Australia, to be followed by deportation to Malaysia.
