5: Craig Moore (Brisbane Roar)

Moore is another who may be remembered by some for the wrong reasons, given the way he exited Roar when Ange Postecoglou took charge, but his contribution to the club and the A-League was huge. The ex-Rangers and Newcastle defender became Brisbane's marquee player as a 31-year-old in July 2007.

Roar coach Frank Farina labeled Moore a 'winner' upon his signing and the Socceroo certainly added a winning mentality to the side. In Moore's first season at the club, Brisbane reached the A-League finals for the first time, although he may regret his red card in their extra-time Preliminary Final defeat to Newcastle.

The next term, Roar fell again in the Preliminary Final. Despite the team's lack of success, it's worth remembering Moore won the Gary Wilkins Medal and the club's Player's Player of the Year award in both of those two seasons proving his value, before his fallout with Postecoglou.
