As Australia's all-time top scorer Tim Cahill turns 38, the-AFC.com profiles the latest player in our series of 'Asian Icons'.
Kuala Lumpur: When Tim Cahill rose high to meet Robbie Kruse’s centre in extra time against Syria in November, there was an air of inevitability about where the ball would end up as the trademark goal secured a 2-1 victory and kept Australia’s FIFA World Cup dreams alive.
It was the 50th time Cahill had netted for his country as he underlined his status as an Australian sporting legend ahead of securing qualification to his fourth World Cup. And the forward, who turns 38 today, is deservedly the-AFC.com’s next ‘Asian Icon’.
