If you could have 1 player from the 2006 golden generation back now who would it be?

In 2006 the Socceroos were a squad to be proud of able to be pitted against the best teams in the world and put up a good fight. 

11 years later and everyone bar Cahill has hanged up the boots and the Socceroos have been on a decline since the high Guus Hiddink took our national team. 

For me I would pick Lucas Neil and I know that is a little controversial we had better individuals in the squad but Neil was a good captain/leader and a solid defender and right now our national teams defense is shambolic and  we look like we lack leadership 

My 2nd Choice would be Marco Bresciano because he was decent at free kicks and had creativity which is also lacking in the current socceroos squad.

Has to be Neil for me as it fixes a significant weakness, as good as Kewell and Viduka were the former was ruined by injuries and the latter never performed well enough for us
