Chelski will probably score a 97th minute equalizer that was offside and didn't actually cross the line.

Debatable regarding player development.

Who's the best Australian player to come through in the past 10 years after Mile Jedinak (who was raised at Sydney United)?

We haven't had a player come through who can hold a candle to guys reared by NSL clubs: Vidmar x 2, Kewell, Okon, Cahill, Zelic, Viduka, Emerton, (Simunic), et al.

Debatable whether or not Cahill, Kewell, and Emerton were really reared in the NSL. Viduka is the clear best product ever to have genuinely come out of the NSL, having already become a genuine star of the competition before heading overseas. You can add Danny Tiato to that list too.

United players signing autographs in Rundle Mall.

FMD, Greg Griffin can buy a sports team but can't fork out for a decent suit and haircut?

Dodgiest used car salesman I've ever seen...

Cahill (Syd Oly./Utd) and Kewell (Marconi) spent crucial years under proven academy systems as teenagers. Emerton actually left at a similar age to Viduka, having decided to stay with Sydney Olympic until the, erm, Sydney Olympics.

Guys like Tiatto and to a lesser extent Foster being able to leave relatively late and have solid careers at a Championship-level says it all IMO.

Matt Mackay tried similar and came home in relatively short order.

Tiatto stayed at Manchester City when they were relegated purely out of loyalty, vowing to help them return to the top flight and giving him cult status there.

POTY in 2000 or 2001. Pretty cool thing to have on your CV as it is, let alone now they're a powerhouse.
