10 Premier League greats you've probably forgotten

#6 Harry Kewell

Leeds United’s young side from the late 1990s to the early 2000s were one of the most exciting in the Premier League at the time, and no other player sums that team up better than Australian attacking midfielder Harry Kewell, a man who is painfully overlooked these days.

Kewell first broke through from Leeds’s youth side in 1995/96, but it was in 1997/98 when he really began to make his mark, as he was an ever-present in the Leeds side and began to be recognised as one of the best young players in the league. He garnered even more publicity due to his relationship with Emmerdale actress Sheree Murphy, who he went on to marry in 2002.

Kewell’s best season for Leeds was 1999/00, in which he scored 10 league goals and assisted 13 and was named as the PFA Young Player of the Year as well as on the PFA Team of the Season. The following season saw him contribute to Leeds making it all the way to the semi-finals of the Champions League, but despite his consistently great showings, the side began to slide after this due to their financial issues.

Eventually Kewell moved to Liverpool in the summer of 2003 and while he did win the Champions League with them in 2005, he was never a key player as he’d been at Leeds, due to persistent injuries, and he now goes down as a classic forgotten player despite Australian fans remembering him warmly.
