My Take
Harry Kewell is one of those players who makes you proud to follow football — a genuinely world-class left midfielder who came out of Sydney and took Europe by storm at a time when Australian players just didn't do that. His years at Leeds United were electric; he had this effortless technical quality, great vision, and a left foot that could carve open any defense. The PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2000 was well-deserved recognition that he belonged at the very top. His move to Liverpool brought a Champions League winner's medal in Istanbul 2005, even if injuries robbed him of a full contribution that night. Watching him battle through persistent injury problems throughout his career was honestly heartbreaking, because on his best days he was genuinely special. Now coaching — most recently leading Hanoi FC in Vietnam — he's proving the football brain never switched off.
