Feb 25, 2025
Selecting the Prem's outstanding Aussies from over the years
Australians have been playing in the Premier League since it began, with some of the biggest footballing stars from Down Under making a name for themselves in the English top flight.
Some have had short but successful spells here; others have called England home for most of their career.
Here, we take a look at the Aussie stars who’ve done it better than the rest of their compatriots on the Prem stage…
Richard Garcia
Capped 17 times by Australia, versatile attacking midfielder Richard Garcia played Premier League football for West Ham and Hull City.
He featured most prominently in the English top flight for the latter, helping them avoid relegation in their first season at the level, 2008/09, having starred in their Championship play-off winning campaign.
Richard Johnson
Watford legend Richard Johnson made the best part of 300 appearances for the Hornets, with whom he spent the 1999/2000 season in the Premier League.
Having won two promotions in as years to make it back to the top flight, Graham Taylor’s side struggled and ultimately finished bottom, but Johnson found the net three times over the course of the campaign, including goals against Manchester United and Liverpool.
Danny Tiatto
Left-sided player Danny Tiatto joined Manchester City while they were languishing in the third tier in 1998 and helped them win successive promotions back to the Premier League under the management of Joe Royle.
