The story of international football star Tim Cahill, one of the
most admired Australian sportsmen of all time. It's an unlikely
footballing fairy tale. Born in Sydney to a Samoan mother and
Londoner father, Timothy Cahill grew up in the sprawling western
suburbs, where cricket and rugby league ruled. It was a long way
from his father's beloved West Ham and the English game that
transfixed a young Tim with his own unlikely dreams of one day
playing professionally. Growing up in the 1980s, life for Tim was
about family, football and more football - training, playing and
watching it with his brothers. Beginning as the youngest and
smallest boy on the field, Tim steadily worked his way through the
local club sides with an on-field toughness and intelligence that
made the unlikely a possibility. By the time he was a teenager,
Tim's parents boldly applied for a bank loan to fund his travels to
England. It was an act of faith repaid with a successful trial for
Millwall, the storied London club. After 249 appearances and 56
goals and cult-hero status among the fans, he signed for Everton,
where he would enjoy a highly successful Premiership and stellar
international career - leaving the legacy of becoming one of the
most admired and respected Australian sportsmen of all time. With
his trademark honesty and candour, Tim reflects on what it takes to
make it to the top - the sacrifices, the physical cost, the mental
stamina, the uncompromising self-belief, but also the loyalty, the
integrity and the generosity. An autobiography that is more than a
record of the goals and the games, Tim Cahill's story is a
universal reminder of the importance of making your moment count.
