16. Mark Milligan
Milligan was one of only two then Hyundai A-League players to be part of Australia's World Cup squad after starring for Sydney FC in its championship-winning season. Listed as a midfielder but equally effective in defence, as he proved this term, Milligan is captain of Australia's Qantas Under 23s and hopes to lead them to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Milligan, who played for Northern Spirit and Blacktown City Demons before joining Sydney FC, is one to watch.
