I also remember when he signed for Liverpool. We had been linked with Damien Duff for over a year, and looked set to meet his buyout clause (£17m I think Chelsea paid in the end), then all of a sudden Kewell started being mentioned, and for £5m. I was fking made up, thought he was gonna be massive for us. Even when Leeds were going down the shitter he was head and shoulders (along with Viduka) above the rest.
He started well, but his fitness fked him up big time. Crying shame, cos we could have been talking about a piece of genius from Houllier getting Kewell for £5m.
