South Sydney Rugby league football club, or SSFC, is a football club based in Redfern, Sydney. The club was founded in 1908 and started playing in the top Sydney competition in that year. The club is the most successful in rugby league, having won 20 titles before their last grand final victory in 1971. In the past 35 years, the club has fallen on lean times which culminated in their being expelled during the rationalisation period of the NRL between 1999 and 2002. They have since been bought by prominent business owner, Peter Holmes a Court, and famous actor, Russell Crowe, who have promised to rebuild the club into one of the top football teams again.
