1.Danny Vukovic
Coming back from 2-nil down with 10 men against the Melbourne Victory a few weeks ago was pretty sweet.
2.Josh Mitchell
My highlight of 2011 in terms of football would be playing and training along the great man Robbie Fowler. To get the chance to play in the same team as a player known as ‘God’ was an amazing opportunity and to score a goal from his corner is something I will never forget.
3.Bas van den Brink
Highlight of 2011 was coming home in Holland after a disappointing trip to Korea.
4.Billy Mehmet
Teaming up with Steven McGarry. It has always been one of my dreams as Steven is a St Mirren legend.

Signing for this great club Perth Glory is easily my highlight of 2011.

The brilliant management of Stoke City boss Tony Pulis to get my boys into the FA Cup final.
