Following the 2006 World Cup, Kewell had one genuine international highlight.

He was overshadowed by Mark Viduka and Graham Arnold’s tactical misery in the 2007 Asian Cup, and was sent off against Ghana in the 2010 World Cup, a mistake that perhaps summarised the blunder of a tournament that still promising Socceroos lineup had.

But in 2011, Kewell shone for the Socceroos one last time in a major tournament. He led Australia to a heartbreaking final defeat against Japan, but was deservedly named in the tournament’s best XI for his efforts.

Now, Kewell is coaching in England, a destiny that many feel is as unsurprising from Harry as a quick drop of the shoulder, followed by a low driven shot from the left flank. He was never going to tough it out learning the ropes in the A-League, and besides, he feels he has unfinished business at Liverpool, and he's made it abundantly clear the hot seat at Anfield is his intention.

Whether Klopp should be concerned – Kewell was sacked by Watford’s u/21 side for poor results, and has an unenviable 20% win record at Crawley Town – is unclear, but regardless of his legacy in England, he’ll always be a messiah for Australian footballers making the pilgrimage towards the English Premier League’s chosen land.
