Adelaide United legends Craig Goodwin and Isaías have been recognised among the greatest players of the past 10 years, earning selection in the Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) A-League Team of the Decade (2015–2025).
The team, voted on by A-League players past and present, celebrates the standout performers who have shaped the competition across the last decade.
Goodwin, Adelaide’s all-time leading scorer and current captain, was named in the starting XI, while former skipper Isaías, United’s most capped player, earned a place on the bench as one of the league’s most influential midfielders.
The pair’s inclusion highlights their impact not only for the Reds but across the entire competition.
Isaías said:
“I would like to say thank you to everyone who has voted for me. It’s a privilege to be in this team. It is very special when your peers recognise you in this way. For me, it’s an incredible honour and I believe many great players have competed in this league over the last decade, which makes this even more meaningful.”
Craig Goodwin said:
“Thank you very much. I am humbled to be voted in and to receive the recognition from my peers. Congratulations to all the other players who made this squad. I feel honoured to be included in this group, which represents what our peers believe to be the best players in the league over the last decade.”
Adelaide United CEO Nathan Kosmina extended his congratulations to the pair:
“On behalf of everyone at Adelaide United, I’d like to congratulate both Craig and Isaías on this thoroughly deserved recognition. Their contribution to our Club has been immense – not only through their performances on the pitch but also through the standards they set as leaders and role models off it. To be acknowledged by their peers as two of the very best over the past decade is a reflection of their quality, professionalism and legacy at Adelaide United.”
