The Northern Saints Football Club is an Australian Rules football club located 15 km north of Melbourne in the suburb of Fawkner.

Northern Saints was formed in October 2007 as a result of a merger between North Coburg Saints Football Club which played in the EDFL and Fawkner Park who played in the Northern Football League and which was the result of a merger between Fawkner Amateurs and Moomba Park.

The club as a single entity was affiliated with the Essendon District Football League and has continued affiliation with this League from 2008 as a merged entity.

The Fawkner Amateurs FC was very successful in the 1970s and 1980s jumping from F Grade to B Grade with Premiership’s almost every second year at one stage. The Fawkner colours of light and navy blue was changed to Navy with a white FPFC yoke when the Club merged with Moomba Park in the mid 1998.

Moomba Park FC played in the Riddell District Football League.

The colours of St Olivers FC were green with a red yoke, these were the traditional colours associated with the Catholic Primary School. For many years, the club fielded only junior teams, until 1978 when seniors were established.

In the early 1990s, the club changed its name to North Coburg Saints Football Club to better reflect the area it represented.

In 1998 the colours were also changed to purple, red, green and white (of Australian Football League club Fremantle Dockers). The Guernsey was changed back in 2006 to the traditional red and green jumper which had been worn for over fifty years.
