Shane Stefanutto

Stefanuto was another key figure in the Brisbane Roar backline that only conceded 32 goals in the unbeaten streak. Although he faced some minor injuries over the streak that put him out of 11 matches, when fit, he was Brisbane’s first choice at left back.

Shane stayed with Roar until the end of 2015/16 when he announced his retirement at age 36. A couple of commentators jokingly commented that he retired after coping too much abuse for being a 36 year old trying to pull off a man bun. He now runs Roar’s media department,

Milan Susak

Susak, now 32, was Brisbane’s left back who moved to be regular centre back next to Matt Smith in the 2010/11 season when Luke De Vere left, starting almost every game that season after joining from Bavarian side SpVgg Unterhaching where he’d spent a couple of seasons since leaving Adelaide United in 2008.

Journeyman Milan is the original rolling stone, never staying in the same spot for more than two years. He left Brisbane at the end of the 2010/11 season seven games before the end of Roar’s streak for a loan spell with Minangkabau FC in Indonesia. In total, he moved to seven different clubs in the space of five years and now plays for Yangon United in Burma.

Erik Paartalu

The defensive midfielder was a towering figure for Roar both physically and metaphorically during their streak; he provided a screen for the defence, a ball player in midfield and an aerial threat in the box. Paartalu, now 30, was another of the three that played in every single one of Brisbane’s 36 unbeaten games.

He too left Brisbane after the 2011/12 season and made a multitude of changes including China, Thailand, Korea and now plays for Qatar Stars league side Al Kharaitiyat.
