With Kalik continually getting overlooked by socceroos management despite turning out week in week out for Croatian giants Hadjuk Split, got me thinking of the greatest eligible players to never be capped by the Socceroos (who werent capped by other nations)...
My 11...
Tohouroglou Grdic Christodoulou Bosnar Cassio Johnston Oldfield Carrusca Volpato Porta Anastasiadis 2nd 11 Theoklitos Mrcela Jovanovic Lowry Isaias Kalik Brattan De Silva Brimmer Reinaldo McBreen Others Đurić, Caravella, Danny Invincible, Jovanovic, Henrique, Ansell, Brandon O'Neill, Marusic, Josh Rose, Daniel McBreen, Osama Malik, Nigel Boogard, Liam Reddy, Josip Biskić, Golgol Mebrahtu, Kerem Bulut, Deni Juric, Bruce Kamau, Bradden Inman, Stefan Mauk, Alou Kuol, Talay Ufuk, Lachlan Brook, Jake Hollman, Nic Milanovic, Paul Izzo, Jacob Farrell, Caceres, Jamie Young, Garrucio, Calem Nieuwenhof, Triantis,

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.

The guys who come to mind are Viera, Johnston, Dorigo, Simunic, Seric, Didulica and Dykes.

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.

Watched a YouTube compilation of him recently. Had a rocket launcher for a shot

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

Actually I've forgotten Christophe Teinert

Does anyone know why David Oldfield never played for the socceroos?
Played 4 seasons in the English top flight and 7 seasons in the 2nd flight yet never played for Australia.

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.

Didnt Theo get a cap too (I could swear I remember him sitting on the bench for Roos game)???

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.
