My hero is Harry Kewell because in my mind he is a great soccer player and I look up to him as a role model. He was born on the 22nd of September in the year 1978 in a suburb called Smithfield in Sydney Australia. He is one of the wealthiest Australian sports players. Currently, he plays soccer for Liverpool F.C and the Australian soccer team the Socceroos.

At the age of 15 he was allowed the opportunity to travel to England to trial for the English premier league Leeds United for four weeks. He traveled to England with his friend Bret Emerton, not knowing that in many years the two would be playing together for the Socceroos. Both were successful, but only Kewell was able to take up the club's offer due to his father's English heritage, which overcame strict visa requirements.

Harry Kewell made his debut at the age of 17 on the 30th of March 1996 at a 1-0 defeat. He scored his first goal in Leeds United in a 3-1 win against Stoke City. He was one of Leeds United's best midfielders, helping them to the semi-finals, however in the later years the team had financial problems and had to let him go as well as Mark Viduka.

Harry Kewell is married to Sheere Murphy and they have three children called Taylor, Ruby and Matilda.
