It’s very Kewell for Harry the bold move boss
style – you can come on as a winger and find yourself in the middle of the park. It’s an opportunity for him.”
It wasn’t the first time Kewell has broken Yeovil hearts.
Fans in the West Country have never forgiven him for diving to win a penalty for Liverpool in an FA Cup tie back in 2004.
The Aussie fell theatrically to the floor under a challenge from Hugo Rodrigues in that third-round tie, leaving Danny Murphy to score from the spot.
“I remember it but I’ve never dived in my life,” said Kewell with a wink. “I’m sure someone touched me. Or maybe it was the wind.” So far it looks like Kewell – who played under Guus Hiddink, Rafa Benitez, Terry Venables and Frank Rijkaard – has real potential as a coach too.
He has got his Crawley side trying to play it out from the back.
Roberts put Harry’s boys ahead after 12 minutes with a slide-rule finish.
Then he tapped home a pass from cool-headed Enzio Boldewijn after Yeovil were caught by a ball over the top.
The result moved Crawley up to 16th in the table and means Yeovil are still looking for an away win.
