During his time at Sydney Olympic, Hiroyuki Ishida was a firm fan favourite. Ishida was known for his outstanding pace and dribbling skills on the wing, willingly pressuring the opposition; which is why the Olympic fans adored him so much. During his time at Olympic, Ishida claimed the NSL (National Soccer League) Championship in the 2001–2002 season, as well as the NSL Minor Premiership and the NSL Runners-Up in 2002–2003.
