Tim Cahill is widely regarded as Australia's greatest footballer and one of the finest players in Asian football history. Cahill began his professional career with Millwall in England before earning a move to Premier League club Everton in 2004, where he became a fan favourite and one of the league's most prolific goalscoring midfielders. He later played for the New York Red Bulls, Shanghai Shenhua, Hangzhou Greentown and Melbourne City before finishing his career with Jamshedpur in India. Internationally, Cahill represented Australia 108 times between 2004 and 2018, scoring a record 50 goals and becoming the first Australian to score at four FIFA World Cups. He played a pivotal role in Australia's golden generation, helping the Socceroos win the 2015 AFC Asian Cup and qualify for four consecutive FIFA World Cups, while earning widespread recognition for his aerial ability, powerful finishing and trademark corner-flag celebration.
