Football's showpiece events call for players to embrace the moment and the spotlight.

The first A-League grand final to be played in New Zealand between Auckland FC and Sydney FC could feature an unlikely hero or a well-known big game player.

Steve Corica scored the first ever goal in an A-League grand final 20 years ago. His strike just after the hour mark from the top of the box is a moment he remembers fondly.

It was a goal that handed Sydney FC the first of five A-League Championship trophies.
