 The club president at the time Enver Begović reacted by spending over 5000 pounds to bring in players such as Scottish international Duncan MacKay, Brian Adlam, Hammy McMeechan (who was bought for a then Victorian record transfer fee of 1200 pounds from Slavia), Bill McLyntyre, Joe Keenan, Bobby McLachlan and Ian Currie.The club went to great lengths to bring in these players, sending Frank Burin to Scotland to sign the majority of the newcomers.These incredible signings saw the club dubbed the 'Glamour Team' of the State League.
