                              Theoklitos
               Mrcela     Jovanovic    Lowry

Doesnt exactly qualify as he WAS capped but how Con Boustianis only got 4 caps (one as a late sub) for the Socceroos is baffling.. 4 goals from 4 appearances (Although three where during that 31-0 American Samoa genocide)

Josip Šimunić maybe? Can we shoehorn in Cristian Vieri? Also could go with Avraam Papadopoulos and Giannis Samaras.

I'd go with Galekovic in goal, backed by Caravella, Wilkshire, Vukovic, and Wilkshire in defense. O'Neill, McKay, and Carle would make a solid midfield trio, supporting Volpato and Kalik up front, with McBreen and Reinaldo as the striking duo. In the 2nd XI, Theoklitos would take the keeper spot, with Mrcela, Ansell, Lowry, and Rose in defense.

Great players but all capped by other countries (I mentioned in the description that only considering guys that weren't capped by anyone)

Carrusca wasn't capped but he was cap tied to Argentina after playing u20s. The fornaroli rule came too late for him.

Yep exception from what you mentioned is Johnston which is why I named him in the team  but others all capped.

Actually I've forgotten Christophe Teinert

There would probably be a big list of non-NSW players from the 60's and 70's when team selection heavily favoured NSW players. That was before my time though.

My understanding is the Craig Johnston was capped in a "B" International for England which, in those days, precluded him being capped by Australia.

Johnston wasn't capped by another nation, just elected club over country

Johnston make a silly comment at 17 years old that 'playing football was like surfing for England' & this was held against him.

IMO, he more than most was the little Aussie made it big in the UK playing for the Man City of the Day, Liverpool, lots of people started following Liverpool because of Johnston & even I followed the shit club for a while. They like Man City now, brought the competition in the 80s & changed football in the UK.
Liverpool in the 80s, Man U in the 90s eraly 2000s & now Man City just brought all the players & provided us with unequal competitions.

No more Notts Forest Div 2 winners, the Div 1 winners the following year & European Champions the year after that.

They say money talks

If Karem wasn't caught up in off field drama and had a stable foundation he could have been one of our best strikers we've ever had.
