All-Time Leaders
CAPS | Mark Schwarzer (109) |
Goals | Tim Cahill (50) |
Clean Sheets | Mark Schwarzer (44) |
Mathew Ryan (104 CAPS) is creeping up on Mark Schwarzer's all-time appearance record for Australia, but the legendary Tim Cahill's goal record looks to be safe for at least the rest of the decade.
31-year-old Jackson Irvine is the closest active player to surpassing Cahill's record, but the midfielder would need still need 36 goals to knock Cahill out of that spot in history.
