Hyundai A-League's best-ever players

Besart Berisha: The Hyundai A-League greatest-ever scorer with 116 to his name, Berisha also won four championships, two premierships and an FFA Cup at stints with Brisbane Roar and Melbourne Victory.

Thomas Broich: The German playmaker enjoyed seven incredible seasons with Brisbane Roar, playing a major role in a period of dominance for a side that was renowned with playing breathtaking football.

Diego Castro: The Hyundai A-League has seen some excellent Spanish players over the years but none better than the current Glory skipper. Castro has scored 42 goals in just 96 outings for the club and won the Johnny Warren Medal in his first season.

Bruno Fornaroli: Fornaroli goes down as one of the best-ever due to his phenomenal scoring record during his time at Melbourne City, scoring 57 goals in just 83 appearances. He led the club to their first piece of silverware too, the FFA Cup in 2016.

Carlos Hernandez: Another who got his hands on the Johnny Warren Medal (2009/10 Season), Hernandez was one of the classiest midfielders in the competition in the early years at Victory. The Costa Rican also scored a number of memorable goals from distance.

Aaron Mooy: Having returned home from Europe to be part of Western Sydney Wanderers inaugural squad, Mooy went on to become a midfielder superstar in the Hyundai A-League at Melbourne City. Unsurprisingly, he is now a mainstay of the Caltex Socceroos and tearing up the Premier League.

Milos Ninkovic: He arrived at Sydney FC with a big reputation in 2015 and the Serbian star has lived up to the hype. With his silky skills, Ninkovic has inspired the Sky Blues to two championships, two premierships and an FFA Cup title in the last three seasons.

Shinji Ono: The Japanese legend was the Wanderers’ first marquee signing when the club entered the Hyundai A-League in 2012/13. Two years - and so many unforgettable moments of magic – later, Ono departed as a legend at ‘Wanderland’.

Shane Smeltz: The New Zealand international striker played at a host of Hyundai A-League clubs (4 – Phoenix, Gold Coast, Glory and Sydney FC), scoring a stack of goals everywhere he went. Smeltz remains the competition’s second-highest scorer with 92 in his career.

Archie Thompson: Thompson scored on the very first weekend of the Hyundai A-League back in 2005, the start of an incredible career for the pacy attacker. His amazing five-goal haul in Victory’s 6-0 Grand Final win over Adelaide in 2007 was the standout moment in his 90-goal, 224 game career with the Navy Blues.
