SYDNEY (Reuters) - Shinji Ono has arguably had a bigger impact on the pitch in Australia than Alessandro Del Piero over the last two years and he will be looking to bid a triumphant farewell to the A-League in this weekend's "grand final".

The former Japan playmaker's Western Sydney Wanderers take on Brisbane Roar for the league championship in front of a sell-out crowd of 52,000 at Lang Park on Sunday, looking for their first title in only their second season of existence.
