3: Steve Corica (Sydney FC)

Corica moved to Sydney FC for the inaugural A-League season as a 32-year-old nearing the end of his career but soon became a Sky Blues legend. Corica spent five years with Sydney FC before going out on top, retiring at the end of the club's successful 2009-10 campaign.

The ex-Wolverhampton midfielder was famously the man who scored the winner in the 2005-06 A-League Grand Final. In his five years at the club, Corica was consistently a key man in midfield and deservedly won the club's Members' Player of the Year awards in 2006-07 and 2007-08. Corica made 107 appearances for Sydney, scored 23 goals and two two A-League Championships and a Premiership. His involvement with Sydney hasn't ended with his playing retirement either, becoming an assistant coach at the club.
