Aloisi's name was immortalised on the night of 16 November 2005 when he sealed a penalty shootout victory in the 2006 FIFA World Cup playoff against Uruguay in Sydney.
A well-taken spot-kick with his trusted left foot ended up in Uruguay's net and sparked scenes of unbridled joy and jubilation among the 80,000 strong crowd in attendance and millions of television viewers across Australia.
Aloisi, who is now 39, is in big demand as the 10th anniversary of that epic victory approaches.
He has countless interview requests from media outlets and three days ahead of Brisbane's A-League showdown with Sydney FC he took time out to reminisce on the result that sent shockwaves around the world and served notice that the Socceroos had arrived on the big stage after years of heartbreak.
Aloisi said he was always confident of converting his life-changing spot-kick, simply because he was in sparkling form during penalties practice the day before.
"I had hit nine penalties the day before at training at exactly the same spot so I said to myself 'just do it again'," Aloisi said.
"I hit the ball to the goalkeeper's left at the exact spot I wanted to. The day before the game I stayed behind with Lucas Neill and we practised penalties.
"We took kicks at Ante Covic and I hit them all at the same side at medium height.
"Lucas said to me 'why are you hitting them all at the same side?'
"I told him 'if we get to a penalty shootout I will not get a second chance so I need to be confident of putting the ball where I want to'."
Aloisi gave Uruguay goalkeeper Fabian Carini no chance with a textbook penalty that gave the Australians a 4-2 shootout victory and a ticket to the World Cup for the first time in 32 years.
"I will never forget the long walk from the half-way line to the penalty spot," Aloisi said.
"Even though there were so many supporters at the stadium it felt like there were only a few people and I could hear their murmurs.
"Then when the ball hit the back of the net it was the loudest noise that I had ever heard.
"They are the two things that stick out the most from that night: the 'silent' walk to the penalty area and the 'explosion' of noise that greeted the goal."
Aloisi and the rest of the squad knew that the stakes could not have been higher, for Australian football was still struggling to make a mark on the country's sporting landscape.
However, he said he refused to let the magnitude of the occasion affect his concentration leading up to the kick, where he was earmarked to take the final penalty after Harry Kewell, Neill, Tony Vidmar and Mark Viduka.
"We all knew how important the match was for Australian football, of course," he said.
"Qualifying for the World Cup would do wonders for the game here after so many unsuccessful attempts but when I was preparing to take the kick I was not even thinking about that.
"I just tried to focus on the penalty. That was all I was thinking about.
"I was really confident of putting it away.
"Had I started thinking about the repercussions of not scoring the penalty and Australia not making the World Cup then I would have been very nervous."
Aloisi said he was not concerned with the fact that two players in the Uruguay team had played with him in Spain and knew all about his penalty-taking style.
"I had played with Pablo Garcia and Richard Morales at Osasuna and they knew which was my stronger side in terms of penalties, which was shooting across my body with my left foot," he said.
"I had a feeling they could have told Carini where I was likely to hit the ball but I was not worried that he might save it.
"The bottom line was that if I hit it well he was not going to save it.
"The perfect penalty cannot be saved and so it was because I thought I hit the ball perfectly."
Aloisi formed part of the Socceroos squad that had fallen to Uruguay at the corresponding stage of the 2002 World Cup qualifying process but he said the boys knew that this time they were in with a strong chance.
"We were all confident because we all felt that this was our time," Aloisi said.
This was despite Uruguay's star player Alvaro Recoba having told this humble journalist two days before the game that his country had a "divine right" to play in the World Cup on the basis of their rich footballing history.
"A lot of us had been together for a long time and for some of us it was the third World Cup campaign," Aloisi said.
"We also were at the top of our game and playing at a high level.
"Guus Hiddink gave us the confidence too and that translated into this great belief that this time it was our turn.
"We were a goal behind from the first leg and we knew it was going to be tight but I suppose it was our destiny that we should go back to the World Cup in the same country that the 1974 Socceroos had played in.
"I still think Australian football would have made its mark even if we had lost and we would be talking about the game aiming for another level 10 years down the track.
"Had we lost to Uruguay it might have taken a bit longer, that's all.
"That match coincided with the start of the A-League and Australia joining the Asian Football Confederation.
"The stars were aligned because all the good things happened at the same time."
Aloisi also gave an insight into the Uruguayans' moves to unsettle the Socceroos players.
He recalled a poignant moment at the end of the first leg in South America.
"I had come on for Mark Viduka in the last 15 minutes of the match in Montevideo," he said.
"And centre-half Paolo Montero spent most of that time kicking me.
"At the end of the game that we lost 1-0 he tried to intimidate me. He told me in Spanish 'I'll break your leg in Sydney'.
"I started laughing to myself and thinking 'I'm not going to be even starting the match' and I told him 'yeah you can try to kick me but I'll be on the bench'.
"It was all part of Uruguay's scare tactics - very much the Uruguayan way, which I guess not many people were aware of.
"But ironically Montero got injured nine minutes from time in Sydney and I went on for Mark Bresciano in extra-time and the rest is history."
