Big Tim Cahill interview in FourFourTwo

"It wasn't meant to be." Interesting he says that thee times

At first, I thought that strange in a fatalistic or deterministic sense, coming from someone who is very much at the centre of his journey. But, for a footballer like him, it's probably a very sensible way of dealing with disappointment — and deflecting blame!!!

Love ya, Timmy. Some great memories.

We could always do with 2-3 of his mentality in the team.

I didn't realise he had clocked up 50 international goals for Oz. Impressive, even if a lot were against Asia-Pacific Ocean teams.

I think Gus Hiddink deserves credit for giving him a more attacking role. David Moyes also noted how Gus used him.

We could do with a Tim-like character now — both on and off the pitch...

The heart and Soul of the team when he played for EFC and someone who wasn't scared of the RS.

I don't think we will ever see anyone with that uncanny ability to win so many headers (and actually do something with them that matters) as Tim Cahill, the timing of his leap was just surreal.

Only shame was that he never managed to win a medal in 8 years with us, he deserved one.

As many have noted, he was one of the best headers of the football in front of goal. Another guy who had an uncanny ability to get his head to the ball was Steve Naismith (remember his hat-trick against Chelsea?).

I believe we have a great header in Calvert-Lewin and then we saw what Richarlison can do yesterday.

I doubt we'll see one quite like him again.

Great guy, great player. An ambassador for the game and the club.
