Stan Lazaridis
Stan the man represented Australia 60 times and played nine seasons in the Premier League for West Ham and Birmingham City. The pacey left-winger, who sometimes played left-back, was a key member of the Australian side that finished runner-up at the 1997 FIFA Confederations Cup.
Charlie Yankos
Yankos played for the Socceroos 49 times and was captain on 30 occasions, scoring seven goals - none more impressive than a 30 yard screamer against Argentina. If you live in the Sydney suburb of Glenwood you might know a local street, Charlie Yankos street, that is named after the great man.
Peter Katholos
The Kat won the 1982 Australian player of the year award and is best known for his time with Sydney Olympic. He played 25 times for Australia and won four NSL championships.

Today his son, comedian Steen Raskopoulos is the one winning trophies - including the 2013 Best Newcomer at the Sydney Comedy Festival.
Ange Postecoglou

Two NSL championships with South Melbourne, two A-League championships with Brisbane Roar and most importantly the 2015 Asian Cup.
Chris Kalantzis

Kimon Taliadoros
Taliadoros played nine matches for the Socceroos scoring three goals. Taliadoros was also a prolific goalscorer for South Melbourne between 1987 and 1993. Here he is scoring a classy lob for Sydney Olympic in 1996:
