Leros United Soccer Club was born. Nobody could have dreamed that 30 years later this social soccer club would still be in existence. From a one team club playing at a ground without dressing rooms nor any washing facilities, we now have two men’s teams and one women’s team. The Soccer Club also became a Social Club. This generated great moral and mate-ship that drove the club to championships and promotions. A bonding that created lifelong friendships.

ROBERTO PROSIA – IN MEMORY:
The following is in memory to Roberto Prosia. ​ Roberto joined Maidstone United Soccer Club in 1995 and made an immediate impact. ​ In 1996, he played a crucial role in our team's achievement of winning the Division 2 morning championship and securing promotion to the 1st Division. ​ Roberto's exceptional performance earned him the Federation Top Goal Scorer award and our Club's Best & Fairest Referees Award. ​ He also represented the Victorian squad in the National Amateur Championship. ​
​
The following year, Roberto's goals and outstanding performances helped us win the Division 1 championship. ​ He was recognized as the Federation's Best and Fairest player of the Year. ​ Roberto's influence extended beyond the field as he successfully convinced the club committee to change our team's strip from blue and white to yellow. ​ He played a pivotal role in organizing the sponsorship for the new yellow jumpers. ​ Roberto wore his famous #4 jersey with pride and was a standout person, player, and club man. ​
​
Off the field, Roberto was known for his presence and banter. ​ He had a passion for European soccer and the Carlton Soccer Club. Whether in the dressing rooms or at work, he filled the room with his enthusiasm. Roberto was also passionate about food, particularly Greek and Italian cuisine. ​ His love for food was evident in his towering 2-meter frame, as he would devour everything put in front of him. ​
​
Tragically, Roberto's life was cut short by cancer shortly after he married his sweetheart Lisa. ​ However, he had the opportunity to hold his newborn son for the first time just two days before his passing. ​ Roberto's memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him. ​
​
Every year Maidstone United celebrate the life and times of Roberto with our annual Legends day.
