I want to give a summary of the immense contribution Nikolai Topor-Stanley has given to our club:
- His debut for the club was against Beijing Guoan FC, an away fixture in the Asian Champions League
- Across two stints, he made 202 appearances consisting of 198 starts and 4 substitute appearances. This is the second highest number of appearances in our history and equates to appearing in 35% of the matches in the club's history since 2000.
- He played a total of 17964 minutes - more than 2000 minutes more than the next closest.
- He made 189 A-League appearances, 5 in FFA cup and 8 in the Asian Champions League.
- He scored 9 goals (8 in A-League and 1 in FFA Cup) and provided 6 assists
- He captained the team on 37 occasions. This is 6th in the overall standings behind Boogaard, Roberts, Zadkovich, North and Thompson.
- He was involved in 48 clean sheets during his time with the club
- He was never sent off during his time with the Jets.
- The win percentage with NTS in the team was 37%
- following his return to the club, Nikolai only missed 135 minutes of competitive football. He wasn't available for the Round of 16 clash v Edgeworth in the FFA Cup (90 minutes) and was a halftime substitute against Adelaide (45 minutes) in the Quarter Final of the same competition.
