Adamstown Rosebud FC would like to join the world-wide tributes and acknowledge the passing of football legend Diego Maradona (30 October 1960- 25 November 2020). Arguably one of the most influential and skillful players of all time, he inspired a whole generation of footballers like Messi and Ronaldinho, and even Rosebud players at the time of his dominance of world football. His vision, passing, ball control, and dribbling skills won him recognition as a great player, but his goal scoring in the 1986 FIFA world cup cemented him as one of the greats in the history of football (although VAR would have clearly disqualified one of those goals).
Whilst Maradona has passed on, we hope his spirit remains alive and continues to inspire football players globally, and in our club here at Adamstown.
RIP Diego Maradona.

For this weeks #ThrowbackThursday , let's take it all the way back to the beginning of the Mighty Buds as we know them today! ⚽️
The Reverend John Penman sowed the seeds for the success of the club, after a suggestion to local player Peter Finlayson that a successful club could sprout and flourish at Adamstown- as most established players were local to that area.
After many more nudges in the right direction by Rev Penman, Finlayson called a meeting at Adamstown Park on the 12th July 1889, to announce the new clubs’ formation. The name itself was decided upon in a landslide vote, which was heavily influenced by a local brand of butter by the same name- Rosebud, but also the tenacious nature of the rose and its originality. 🌹
131 years on, Adamstown still carries the Rosebud name proudly, building up a strong youth and senior league, who will be smashing goals all next season.
Pictured is the team in 1896, just a few years after the club formed, as they celebrated their 3rd year in a row of winning the competition.🏆#upthebuds #adamstownrosebuds
