From their very beginning in the N.F.L. which was in 1960, Highlands Park were one of it's leading clubs. They rivalled Durban City for the title of most glamorous team in the short history of professional soccer in South Africa.

Highlands Park found their origin in Balfour Park which ground served as their home venue before they decided to move to Rand Stadium. Since their inception, inspired by then first chairman, Mr. Lucke Matus, Highlands never ceased to improve their team and were involved in many transfer deals.

Perhaps their most expensive purchase was Freddie Kalk from Southern Suburbs but others have been Charlie Gough, Bobby Hume and Willie McIntosh from Scotland and the South Americans Santoro and Walter from Hellenic. Malcolm Rufus, their captain, was signed from Durban City and led them in most of their triumphs.

The next president, Mr. Rex Evans was just as ambitious as his predecessor and imported as manager Wally Barnes, the former Arsenal player and Welsh International.
