Paul Wade (born 20 March 1962 in Cheshire, England) is a retired Australian football player, who is most famous for his long-term role as captain of the Socceroos.
Wade's 84 "A" international appearances for Australia make him the second most capped player in the country's history. In total, Wade played 118 games for Australia between 1986 and 1996. He represented the Socceroos at the 1988 Summer Olympics and in two FIFA World Cup qualifying campaigns (1990 and 1994).
One of his most famous moments came in 1993, during qualifying for the 1994 World Cup when Australia faced Argentina. Faced with the dubious honour of marking star Diego Maradona, Wade was valiant in helping Australia stay in the two games, although they would eventually lose 2-1 on aggregate goals following a 1-0 defeat in Buenos Aires.
