Ex-Leeds United duo named in Australia's Team of the Century

Ex-Leeds United stars Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka have been named in the Socceroos' 'Team of the Century' by Football Australia.

Kewell joined Leeds at the age of 15 after undergoing a successful four-week trial along with former Blackburn Rovers midfielder Brett Emerton. The latter was unable to accept the Whites' offer due to visa complications, while Kewell became the second Australian to play for the club when he debuted at 17.

In 1999-2000, Kewell was voted PFA Young Player of the Year and was also named in the PFA Team of the Year. Kewell helped Leeds reach the semi-final of the UEFA Cup and was joined by his Australian compatriot Viduka in the summer of 2000.
