Cássio
The enormously talented Brazilian was a constant joy to watch for Reds fans, while he terrorised the opposition during 158 matches for the Club.
Just as potent in attack as he was in defence, Cássio is one of the most memorable players to wear the prestigious red kit, and there have been many.
Cássio has an extensive highlights reel spanning both ends of the pitch, and who could forget that volley against Newcastle in 2009.
The Oliveira name lives on through son, Bernardo, a current A-League rising star for the Reds.
Tarek Elrich
Tarek Elrich was a competitor, and we can’t not mention first up his wonder goal in the 2014-15 season that quite literally came from nowhere.
The defender picked the ball up well inside his own half, dribbling at least three Melbourne City players before slotting home.
Not first known for his goal-scoring prowess, Elrich’s pace and determination made him a difficult player to handle all over the park.
An important cog in United’s 2015/16 Championship winning machine, Elrich also scooped the Remo Paris Club Person of the Year awards for the 2014/15 and 2015/16 seasons for his unwavering dedication to the Club.
Ryan Kitto
Ryan Kitto is a name synonymous with Adelaide United, and things just wouldn’t be the club’s current Isuzu UTE A-League captain.
While other teammates often steal the headlines, Kitto has been grinding his way to fourth spot on United’s all-time appearances list with 189 for the Club.
An FFA (Australia) Cup Medal winner, Kitto’s gut-busting efforts are unmatched down the left wing.
Kitto would do anything for United and has been known to pop up for at least a few crucial goals and many score involvements every season.
Georgia Campagnale
Georgia Campagnale started her Adelaide United career in 2014 and went on to play 72 esteemed games for the Club.
She made her debut away to Sydney FC on 14 September, spending six years with the Club and she held the record for appearances for a time in 2021.
On 1 December 2018, Campagnale scored her first goal for Adelaide United, a 97th minute last-gasp equaliser against Melbourne City FC.
A workhorse no doubt thanks in part to her nutritionist roots, Campagnale was a respected team-mate always welcome at United.
Charlotte Grant
Now a regular feature in the Matildas squad, Charlotte Grant earned her stripes at her home Club in Adelaide United.
She made her debut as a 17-year-old in November 2018, which saw Adelaide United take a 0-1 win over Brisbane Roar.
The versatile defender impressed from there and soon went on to represent Swedish Club, Rosengård in April 2021, before five months later making her debut for her national team.
Grant is a dependable teammate that will never let you down, and her infectious personality is evident on social media throughout any country or Club she is playing in.
