With today marking Australia Day for those Down Under we decided to raise a cold Fosters to those Aussies to have pulled on the blue and white of Chester FC .

The list isn't a plentiful one and anyone hoping to find a who's who of Blues legends will, sadly, leave empty handed.

There is, though, a player who achieved league championship honours in our list of ex-Blues to have Aussie roots. Here's the quartet.

Jon Brady

Born in Newcastle in the Australian state of New South Wales and having started his footballing odyssey at Adamstown Rosebuds, winger Brady arrived at the Blues in 2002 having been a Conference title winner with Rushden & Diamonds in 2001.

Brady made 19 appearances in his first season with the Blues after beginning the 2002/2003 campaign at Woking before Mark Wright swooped to sign him.

Some decent performances towards the end of the season for the Blues, which ended with heartache after a play-off semi-final defeat to Doncaster Rovers, saw his stay extended into the following season.

Brady made 15 appearances the following season for Chester but departed the club in December 2003 with the blessing of the club having been offered the chance to take up a role as under-16 coach at Arsenal. He did, though, continue playing in the south of England and had spells at Stevenage Borough, Cambridge United and Brackley, managing the latter from 2009 until 2015.

Royce Brownlie

In the days before Twitter gave you your team news hours in advance, many Blues fans who turned up to watch Chester take on Torquay United on a cold Tuesday night in 2007 were asking, 'who's that? It was a question that continued during Brownlie's short and unsuccessful four game spell under Wright in League Two.

Striker Brownlie was signed on loan from Swindon Town and had arrived in English football in 2006 following spells in his homeland with teams including Brisbane Strikers, Marconi Stallions, Parramatta Power and Queensland Roar.

The Coffs Harbour-born striker was a hit in Australia, prompting the Robins to swoop for him in 2006. But he found the English game a step too far and soon left, stopping at Wellington Phoenix in New Zealand before spending several seasons with Moreton Bay United in the National Premier League Queensland.

Ross Greer

Who? Midfielder Greer is most likely not on many Blues fans' all-time greats list and his stay in English football lasted little longer than Marco Boogers at West Ham .

Perth-born Greer arrived at Chester in late 1989 having played previously form National Premier League Western Australia side Floreat Athena. He played two league games and two cup games in his brief spell with the Blues, managing to put through his own net in a 2-0 defeat to Shrewsbury Town.

Unlike Boogers, he didn't pack up and head for a caravan in the Dutch wilderness, he headed back to Oz and resumed playing for Floreat before playing spells in China, Malaysia and Hong Kong, returning to Australia to turn out for Melbourne Knights, among others, before retiring in 2002.

Greer, who won six league titles during his spell in Hong Kong, even played at representative level for Hong Kong against the likes of AC Milan, Sampdoria, Tottenham, Chelsea, Sweden and the USA.

Scott Guyett

Yes he was born in Ascot, but Guyett was raised in Australia and spent much of his childhood in Brisbane where he turned out for Brisbane City Soccer Club in Newmarket, Queensland.

He began is time in English football with Gresley Rovers before playing for Wright at Southport and later Oxford before linking up for a third spell with the ex-England international at Chester.

Guyett proved an excellent addition to the Blues, winning player of the seaosn in his first year and was a big part of their success in the Conference under Wright, which culminated in the 2004 title win that returned the Blues to the bosom of the Football League.

A regular in the heart of defence, Guyett eventually departed Chester following that championship success, opting to join Yeovil Town.

He would spend four years at Huish Park before a two seasons at Bournemouth and a final brief stint at Dorchester Town brought the curtain down on his playing career.

Guyett is currently employed as fitness coach at Premier League side Crystal Palace.
