#5: Daniel Alessi
I remember hearing the team lineup in the first derby of the 2013-14 season and thinking, "who is this guy?".
16 year old Daniel Alessi started at RB and faced the task of holding out ADP and Ali Abbas, which he managed to do. Nailed ADP a few times, iconic.

Tough decision on this one, but knew what a derby meant to the club and fans. During his time at WSW, we only lost 2 derbys out of 6, not a bad record. Mainly in here for that legendary goal + celebration. A huge moment in WSW history.

One of the toughest players to come through the club, and one of my favourites. Played for the badge and played with heart. He'd really turned it up in the derby. Cleaned up Abbas, and then threw up a West side in front of the cove "Sy-deney is a red and black"

To me,this guy was a derby player. No matter what form he was in, he'd show up for the derby. Managed to snag two game winning headers last season in the 1-0 wins we had, and really took on his position as captain in these games i felt. Going to miss him saturday

Doesn't need an explanation. Definition of a derby player, Scored crucial goals in derbys, celebrated with the fans, caused ruckus on the field, and even though it was turned into a meme, him crying after a loss meant a lot of me as a fan.Showed he gave a fuck
