2007: Brown was handed the captain's arm-band for the credible 2-2 draw in Wales in late May due to the unavailability of incumbent Danny Hay, shortly after successfully gaining a release from Newcastle to sign for Ricki Herbert's Wellington Phoenix. Subbed off with five minutes remaining in the 4-0 loss to Costa Rica, Brown remained on the bench for the 5-0 loss to Venezuela later in March. But given the responsibility of leading his country for the first time against Wales, Brown responded in Wrexham with a whole-hearted effort and supplied the ball for Shane Smeltz's second goal. 2006: Seen as a future All Whites captain, Tim Brown has played all but three of the 14 national team matches since Ricki Herbert took charge in 2005. Was a standout in the 1-1 draw at English premier leaguers Charlton Athletic in August 2006, a performance that eventually led to an A-League contract with the Newcastle Jets in Australia.
