History

Youth Side
editArticle says the Cosmos formed a relationship with the AIS, but from memory it was the ACT Academy of Sport (or ACTAS) side playing in the National Youth League that acted as the Cosmos' 'youth side'. I don't think the AIS ever had a formal relationship with the Cosmos.

- Actually, in its last season (2000/01), the Cosmos did field a team in the then Northern National Youth League. Will add details to the article soon. - 121.223.198.175 (talk) 11:19, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
Notable players
editFor the purposes of being a notable Cosmos player, I've taken a criteria that a player must have either made 50 appearances for the club or be a full international, or made some other significant contribution to the club. The most notable have a short blurb, while any others meeting this criteria are just listed.
The addition of:
- Marcus Phillips (footballer) (2000-01) 24 apps 0 goals
- Brian Hamilton (footballer) (1999-00) 27 apps 1 goal
- Gordon Hunter (footballer, born 1967) 28 games 2 goals [[1]
- David Winnie (1999-00) 23 apps 1 goal
are all for players outside this criteria. Other than being non-Australian, I wouldn't say they are notable (and none have their own article) and so have dropped them from the list. - Tomperc (talk) 22:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
The name Alex Castro is linking to the wrong guy (a Filipino actor ??)
