Following the height of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Steve McCullough began training small groups of high school soccer players from throughout the Evansville metropolitan area. As his numbers grew, McCullough began inviting college players from throughout the tristate area to weekly Sunday-night pickup matches at Goebel Soccer Complex. In response to a rising demand for a more competitive level of soccer in Evansville, he decided to found his own club. McCullough named the club "Legends", paying homage to influential and inspirational players and coaches throughout the history of Evansville soccer. They joined the Ohio Valley Premier League. On March 26, 2021, the Legends announced UE alumnus and former captain Jesse Sharp as head coach. They signed and invited around 40 college and high school players throughout the tristate area, as well some notable alumni. The team made its debut on May 22, 2021, in a 3–1 loss against Old Bhoys SC, at Cardinal Ritter High School. The Legends went on to go 7-1-1 their debut season, winning the 2021 OVPL Summer Championship, against Ohio Premier SC. Following the club's 2021 success, manager Steve McCullough began looking for league promotion before the 2022 season. Record
