How many 2005 Joey's are making their mark?

Here is the list of Joeys from the 2005 World Cup.

Interesting to see how many have gone on, or are going on to make a name for themselves in Australia or overseas.

Guess it's interesting to see how selection in the Under 17's Joey's side is not a guarantee to future playing success.


No Michael Zullo(?), but Robbie Kruse, Kaz Patafta, Scott Jamieson, Matthew Spiranovic, Leigh Broxham and others.
