271: Harry Kewell (Part A)

6/16/202637 min

Harry Kewell knows exactly what it feels like to stand on football’s biggest stage.

Thanks to SBS, one of Australia’s greatest footballers joins us for an unforgettable conversation about the biggest tournament in the world and so much more!

Harry takes listeners inside the rockstar treatment of a World Cup campaign, reflects on the goosebumps he still gets remembering his famous 2006 goal against Croatia, and explains why that strike was never about personal glory, it was for Australia.

He also revisits his rise from a determined teenager fighting for a place at Leeds United, the surprising lessons he learned playing rugby league as a kid, his iconic long-sleeve look, Liverpool, an emotional Champions Trophy and the passion that now drives his coaching career.

Whether you're in Socceroos mode or simply love hearing elite athletes unpack the biggest moments of their lives, this is Harry Kewell as you've rarely heard him before.

Catch Harry calling all the World Cup action on SBS! It is your exclusive home of the 2026 FIFA World Cup™, delivering every match from the largest tournament ever staged across the USA, Mexico and Canada.
