The people's rank, live from duel votes

His 25-yard drive against Serbia in Nelspruit on 23 June 2010 swerved late and made it 2-0 in the 73rd minute, four days after he had opened the scoring against Ghana from a rebound. The Eredivisie title with AZ Alkmaar in 2009 stands first among his honours, then the Dutch Super Cup that year, the 2011 Asian Cup final, a UAE league and cup double with Al Nasr in 2015, and Australia's Footballer of the Year in 2012. Career record: 63 caps and 9 goals for Australia; club career at Excelsior Rotterdam, N.E.C., AZ Alkmaar.
