We love you Harry Kewell

Last night Harry Kewell was hailed as a conquering Caesar. Alexander
the Great never received the adulation from a crowd that our Harry got
as he was subbed off the field after scoring Galatasaray's 4th goal of
the evening against the helpless Konyaspor in the Turkish superleague.

But it was a special night for another reason. The leader of the
Galatasaray fans Alpaslan Dikmen died in a car crash skidding into a
wall in the Istanbul rain, seriously injuring his wife and teenage son
the day before. Within 24 hours and on the afternoon of
match day, there was a mass memorial held in his honour at
Galatasaray's home ground Ali Sami Yen Stadium with over 6000 mourners
standing in the falling rain.

After each of the four Galatasaray goals the crowd grew quiet
before singing a warlike tribute to their fallen hero. A massive
banner read (translated from the Turkish): 'Alpaslan Dikmen, maybe
Superman, could have been Batman, certainly Heman. We will never
forget you'.

Galatasaray controlled the entire match with well over 65% possession,
and it was quality possession. They passed the ball around patiently
and fluidly, using the whole width of the field - often attacking down
Harry Kewell's left wing against the flailing Konyaspor defense.

The joy on Harry Kewell's face as he scored his third league goal in
five matches after his transfer from an injury blighted spell at
Liverpool was summed up by the words only an Australian could lip
read: 'Fuck yeah!'

The other stars of the night were Milan Baros, another former
Liverpool player, who scored two goals, and the Brazilian Cassio
Lincoln who scored one. But the real heroes were the fans, who, in a
quite amazing display of organisation, cheered, chanted, danced, and
jumped up and down throughout the whole night like drunken dervishes -
only becoming silent when directed by their leaders - always as a
piano before the next crescendoing forte of chants to their fallen
leader Dikman and to their new hero:

'Harry Kewell, Harry Kewell, We love you, Harry Kewell!'
