10. Tim Brown

An old-fashioned box-to-box midfielder Brown was able to get it done at both ends of the park whether it was for Newcastle Jets or Wellington Phoenix in the A-League.

Despite good form for the Jets it was his stint with the Nix for which he will be best remembered. A leader for the club on and off the park, he also captained the All Whites for a time, with injury cruelly killing off his 2010 FIFA World Cup, but he came back from that tournament to lead the Phoenix to their best ever performance in the 2010-11 season when they made the Preliminary finals.

Capable of delivering a great assist perhaps Brown’s biggest asset was his ability to make the most of any chance that was presented to him, especially in the air, his ability to score a goal via his head is and was memorable and his goal in his last season when he lobbed Liam Reddy in the Sydney FC goal is one of the most spectacular goals in the history of the league.

The best measure of his contribution to the Nix and the league though, might be yet to be seen and how the Nix fare without him in the middle might show just how important a player he has been.
