Socceroos Harry Kewell set to retire.

[Mr_Bojangles]

Australia's greatest ever? Cahill or Mitchell Prentice might have something say about that I guess.

Harry Kewell is set to announce his retirement from all forms of football this afternoon.

Kewell, who played 56 matches for the Socceroos and appeared in two World Cups, is out of contract at the end of the season with A-League club Melbourne Heart.

Thanks for the memories Harry. The goals against England and Croatia especially.

Wonderful player who we never saw the best of due to injury.

Greatest ever is a massive call. Mark Schwarzer should have as big a say as any in that argument.

Kewell and Viduka were something else imo

Harry, y'know, Kewell, y'know, has, y'know, retired, y'know.

Y'know?

Great player. Great career. I fully expected once he came to the realisation there wouldn't be a spot for him the World Cup team he'd retire.

Well played Harry Kewell

 

[Hate]

Great player, yes. Greatest, no. Many others could have a big say in that including those above, but for mine Cahill is the greatest ever Australian player to play soccer. Great career. Best of luck for whatever he may do next.

Lost his urge to play for Australia when he was finally overcome with that English accent. On a serious note, Kewell is one of the greatest Aussie soccer players to put on the jersey.

Good luck with what he does next

Who?

Harry was a freak. On pure talent he is easily our greatest but we haven't seen his best for a good decade due to his horror run so just how good he was isn't remembered now.

 

[mcuzzy]

Was an absolute star, just a pity he was always injured.

 

[juss]

Would have been our greatest ever if not for injury. But he missed too many key matches, otherwise he could have nailed that title.

World cups are the ultimate stage at international level, and Cahill sits comfortable as our best there, with Schwarzer a close second.

 

[Dan Cooper]

A real pity Heart couldn't send Harry off with a win.

 

[Kaan]

Can't forget this goal.
