This weekend, December 4 2016 will mark five years since the end of Brisbane Roar’s historic 36 game unbeaten streak.
Massimo Murdocca
Murdocca, now 32, was the engine of the team during Brisbane’s streak, being known for his high work rate as Brisbane’s box-to-box midfielder. He appeared in 30 of Brisbane’s unbeaten games and was pivotal in Brisbane’s midfield.

After leaving Brisbane at the end of the 2012/13 season Murdocca played for Melbourne City for two seasons but was released at the end of his second season. He now plays in the Victorian Premier League for Avondale.

Jean Carlos Solorzano
The Costa Rican striker was a weapon in front of goal, becoming equal top goal scorer during the streak with 11 goals despite leaving at the end of the 2010/11 season. He was also placed second top goal scorer for Brisbane that season despite only playing in 24 of the 33 games that season.

Solorzano, now 28, then moved to Melbourne Victory but wasn’t able to make an impact. He returned to Costa Rica but barely played only racking up 4 appearances for local side Punarenas. He then moved back to Brisbane where he played for a couple more years more seasons but after an injury riddled stint, he was released in April 2016 after 33 games in orange and joined Rochedale Rovers in Brisbane’s Premier League.

Matt McKay
McKay, 33, was the captain of Brisbane Roar’s Premiership and Championship winning side of the 2010/11 season. He appeared in 23 games throughout the season mainly playing in central midfield. McKay was a natural leader and was said to have given the speech at half time of extra time in their Grand Final that boosted Brisbane’s morale to come back from a 2-0 deficit to win the game in penalties.

After the 2010/11 season, McKay made a high profile moves to join Rangers in Scotland but never settled, and moved on to Busan IPark in Korea and later Changchun Yatai in China. But eventually he found his way back to Brisbane in August of 2013 and is still a key part of the Roar midfield to this day.
