Chapter 2: How has Harry Kewell's family life changed after stepping back from football?
Yeah, working hard this week. Come on, then. Who are you dancing with?
I can't tell him. I can't tell him. Come on. No, I've got to keep it a secret until next week. Oh, dear. I can't. Spoilers.
I was going straight down the bookies as well.
Well, I'm stiff sitting on this sofa today. I am stiff. But look, you had a great week last week. What have you been up to?
Chapter 3: What does Harry Kewell think about watching football as a manager versus a player?
I had a good week this week as well. I was doing a Christmas show in BBC Scotland on Friday night.
Christmas already? Yeah.
Yeah, that's how long in advance you do Christmas shows, yeah.
I can't tell you what it is, though. OK.
Once again, you'll see me all over Christmas. Oh, no.
Joining us on the sofa, a man who has won both the Champions League and FA Cup. Yes, Cami, I know you're looking at me like that. And was known for scoring some sublime goals for his clubs, including Liverpool and Leeds.
G'day, mate. Or is it Mark Hockney these days?
Probably more northern now.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Harry Kewell face during his management career?
But every time I speak, everyone can really pick out the Australian accent straight away now. So I feel like I'm going more Australian. I don't know. What do you hear? I don't know.
When I'm in America, everyone says, are you Australian? So I've got no idea.
I'll just keep it straight and I'm going to keep my East London accent. So out and out Cockney. But Harry, thanks for joining us today. What have you been up to recently?
Nothing really, just kind of chilling out, taking a little bit of time out from football and hanging out with the family, which I haven't had a lot of time to do, especially with my career and then going from football straight into management.
So kind of just taking a back seat and relaxing and enjoy being a father, but it also gives me an opportunity to just go out and watch football at a bit more of a relaxing kind of position.
Are you the taxi now, or you just drive the kids here and there and everywhere?
Dad's Uber, I'm called.

Chapter 5: How does Harry Kewell reflect on his time at Leeds United?
Dad's Uber. Which, like I said, I actually enjoy it. I'm going from one place to another place, picking other people up here, there and everywhere. I think I might start charging, actually.
That's what Uber drivers do.
You said about you do go and watch a lot of football now, but are you able to just watch it and enjoy, or are you still that player, that manager that's totally analysing everything all the time?
No, definitely analysing. I literally switch off from where the ball is. I'm looking at what kind of teams are playing, what their formation is, what their structure is, how they're trying to beat the opponent. So it's not me just sitting there enjoying it. I'm just literally going there trying to just pick little holes and what would I do in that situation, that kind of thing.
That's what happens when you become a manager or a coach or whatever. You can't go to a game and just sit and watch the ball and watch the goals and all that. You're watching the team, you're watching the formation, you're watching everything because your education will never be complete in football. That's one thing for sure.

Chapter 6: What were the highlights of Harry Kewell's career at Liverpool?
No, and I don't think you can. I think the day you stop learning is the day that you give up. I think you can always learn, I think there's always things out there you can learn. I even sometimes watch the manager itself, how he's reacting into certain situations, because I'm quite hot-headed, you know, when I'm on the touchline. So it's nice to see in situations where I think, how do they react?
And they're all little tips you can learn.
So even like watching and how you're just saying, I'm hot-headed and I'm this, do you feel like you're ready to get back into it now?
Look, I'm not lying. I can't wait to get back into it. I enjoy it. I enjoy the tactical side of football and I love figuring out ways to beat opponents. And even when you do lose, it's frustrating, but it's like learning from that and how can you come back from that and turn the team around from a disappointing result to a better result and kind of make them believe in it as well.
So it's a great job.
What about your family though? How do they feel about it because you're a different person when you become a manager?

Chapter 7: What lessons has Harry Kewell learned from his management experiences?
Well, it's one thing you learn even on your license, you know, because you get coaches that come in and you always say you're not going to be that kind of person, but it's very hard. But again, it's things you learn because I've spoken to managers where they've gone and some can switch off, some can't. I can't.
And again, that's something that I'm learning, you know, because you can't like from a high of winning, you come home and you're like, wait, dad's home and all that. And then you come home and you've been done by a set piece where you've worked on all week or you've someone slipped or it just hasn't gone your way or maybe VAR has come into it and it's just lost it out.
Oh no, he's already gone there with VAR.
It can swing your mood, but you've got to kind of separate it. And I've worked along some great managers and some great managers have given me some good information.
And a warm welcome back to Goals on Sunday. Yes, where Harry Kuehl is our guest. Harry, watching that, how do you feel?
I have to say it's actually nice to look back and see your career and see the goals and all that because you do forget about it. I mean, you don't mentally forget about the goals because if someone does ask you about something, you can kind of remember, but it is lovely to see.
Do you remember going back to when you first came over to England?
Yeah, I remember the whole trip.

Chapter 8: What are Harry Kewell's future aspirations in football management?
Go on then, tell us about it.
How long you got?
Yeah, we'll shorten it down for you.
We'll shorten it down. Well, me and Brett Emerton, we left Sydney at 15 years old. And we got on the flight over to England. And it was that long ago where you actually, because we were that young, we couldn't even get off the planes. So we had to sit in Bangkok on the plane. And we ended up getting off at Heathrow. And we thought someone from Leeds was going to come and meet us. No one was there.
What, you're a 15-year-old and no one's come to meet you?
No one's come to meet us. So me and Brett, we were at Heathrow, thinking, well, how do we get to Leeds? So we had to ask. So we got the tube all the way to King's Cross. Walked up to King's Cross on the escalators, and you see that big sign with all the trains and all that? Asked how to get up to Leeds. Got there. So we're thinking, once we got on the train,
We'll get off at Leeds and someone will be there. No one was there. So we're thinking, okay, well, where do we go now? So we got in a cab and we went to Ellen Road. And I remember going to Ellen Road and we got out and we're looking at the big blue gates and thinking, okay, well, now where do we go? So we just walked in there and then remember the security guard, Jack? Yeah, go on.
Jack, the Rottweiler.
Yeah, yeah.
