Tim Cahill

Following eight years at Everton, where he scored 56 Premier League goals, Cahill spent time in the MLS and Chinese Super League before joining Melbourne City at the start of this season.

Cahill played 20 times for City in the regular league campaign, scoring 11 goals, including a stunning strike in a 4-1 derby win over Melbourne Victory.

The 37-year-old also helped City win their first piece of silverware back in November, heading home the only goal of the game in the FFA Cup final against Sydney FC.

Cahill remains a key member of Ange Postecoglou’s Socceroos side, after being called up for the latest World Cup qualifiers.

Josh Kennedy

Kennedy scored 17 times in his 36 appearances for the Socceroos, before retiring from the game in 2015.

The 6 ft 4 forward featured at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups but missed the 2014 tournament and 2011 Asian Cup due to persistent injuries.

Kennedy, now 35, spent most of his playing career in Germany before moving to Japanese side Nagoya Grampus in 2009.

He finished his career in Australia at Melbourne City, where he played 12 times.

John Aloisi

The current Brisbane Roar manager retired from the game in 2011, following spells with Central Coast Mariners, Sydney FC and Melbourne Heart in the A-League.

Earlier in his career, Aloisi played in La Liga and the Premier League, while also earning 55 caps for the Socceroos.

Aloisi famously scored the winning spot kick in a nail-bitting penalty shootout against Uruguay - meaning Australia qualified for a World Cup for the first time in 32 years.

The 41-year-old has used his experience to forge a career in management and, after being sacked by Melbourne Heart in 2013, he has guided The Roar to back-to-back A-League Finals Series.
