Ray Hudson (born 24 March 1955 in Gateshead, England), is a retired professional football player and former coach who currently works as an English-language football commentator on Gol TV and NBC Sports.

Career[link]

Hudson signed with Newcastle United in 1973 at the age of 17, from local team Whickham Juniors. He made over 40 appearances for Newcastle and fans there nicknamed him "Rocky."^[1] After four years in the Football League First Division, Hudson moved to the United States, playing for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League from 1977 to 1983 and was named an All-Star five times. He played the winter season of 1983-84 in Germany with Union Solingen, making 10 appearances without scoring.^[2] Hudson also played for the Strikers following their move to Minnesota in 1984, which proved to be the NASL's final year. During his stint there, Hudson scored 44 goals in 197 matches with 99 assists.^[3]

He followed this with a season playing for Edmonton Brickmen before joining the Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the American Soccer League. He continued to play for the Strikers through the 1991 season by which time the team was playing in the American Professional Soccer League. He was released by the Strikers when the club was mired in a four-match scoreless streak to begin the season.

Coaching[link]

After starting out as the Miami Fusion's community outreach director and TV commentator,^[3] Hudson was named its head coach in the middle of the 2000 season, finishing the season with an 11-12-1 record. He led the club to the best regular season record in Major League Soccer (the MLS Supporters' Shield, the equivalent of a league championship in European leagues) in 2001 with 16 wins, 5 losses and 5 draws.^[1] However, the club was defeated by the San Jose Earthquakes in the semifinal round of the playoffs.

Hudson quickly became known for his fiery personality. One memorable incident occurred after a Miami home win against the Tampa Bay Mutiny. The Fusion scored five goals, usually considered an excellent performance, but Hudson was apparently unsatisfied. He stormed into the media tent and up to the podium. He said, "I've got nothing to say. Any questions? ANY QUESTIONS? No? OK!" and stormed right back out. Interviews with players after the game indicated that Hudson was angered by a perceived lack of effort, even with the Fusion's dominant win.

Following MLS's contraction of the Fusion, Hudson was hired to replace Thomas Rongen as head coach of D.C. United on 8 January 2002. He continued to regale fans and journalists with his wit, stories, and quotes. He once famously said, "There’s a lot of talent on this team, and I’m talking Anna Nicole Smith type of talent!" upon taking control of the team in 2002. He worked for ESPN's World Cup coverage in 2002, and came up with a memorable quote after the American team drew 1-1 with South Korea in group play. Expounding upon whether U.S. goalkeeper Brad Friedel should be thanking his defenders for their works, he said, "I'll be kissing their bums in the showers."

Despite his personality and love for the home fans, United finished at the bottom of the table in the East in 2002 with a record of 9-14-5,^[1] and were ousted in the first round by Chicago Fire by a 4-0 aggregate score in the two-game series in 2003. "Someone get me a blindfold and a cigarette!" he said during the post-game news conference. He was replaced by Piotr Nowak in 2004. Hudson's cumulative record as an MLS head coach stands at 46-44-20.

Commentating[link]

Beginning with the 2004-2005 season, Hudson began TV commentating for GolTV. He is a co-commentator for European league matches and was a co-host of American Soccer until his final (to date) appearance on the show on 29 August 2007. During the 2006 World Cup, he was a co-host for the English-language segment of the nightly Gol TV En Alemania wrap-up show.

Hudson has begun to develop a cult following because of his commentating style, which consists of highly elaborate metaphors and excited, romanticized descriptions of players and goals. One such example came in the 2007 La Liga Championship, when after Real Madrid scored a game-clinching goal, Hudson called Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello "braver than a matador in high heels and a pink tutu!" Shortly before the goal, Hudson claimed that the players were giving off "teardrops the size of pineapple chunks!" A weblog has been established to record Hudson's finest quotations [1] [2]. In particular, Hudson is a great admirer of the game's most skilled and technically gifted players. The likes of Lionel Messi, Xavi, have drawn particular praise from Hudson. Though usually known for his excitement and love for the game and the style of his favourite teams, most notably Real Madrid and Barcelona, Hudson has been very critical of both England's 2010 World Cup campaign^[4] and Fulham's new crest.^[5]

In 2011 Hudson made another famous call. Hudson was calling the Super Copa Cup Final (between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid). Lionel Messi redirected a corner kick to his teammate Gerard Pique who heeled the ball through a crowd back to Messi, prompting Hudson to scream even before the goal was scored. When Messi scored, Hudson made a famous analogy by saying, "Excuse me for being excited, but we just witnessed a goal that would wake up a catatonic!".^[6]

Timothy Filiga "Tim" Cahill (born 6 December 1979) is an Australian football (soccer) player who plays for Everton and the Australian national football team. Cahill plays as an attacking midfielder, but has also played as a striker on several occasions and captains Everton in Phil Neville's absence. Cahill has become one of the highest profile footballers in the Asian Football Confederation. He scored the first goal by an Australian at a World Cup, and has also scored the most goals by any Australian in the World Cup. In 2007, he also became the first Australian player to score at an Asian Cup. Cahill is known for his adept heading ability, remarkable leap despite his height, and scoring the majority of his goals with his head. He has also won 55 caps, scoring 24 goals for his country.

Early life[link]

Cahill was born in Sydney, Australia to a Samoan mother and an English father^[5] of Irish descent^[6] and was encouraged to play football as a child. As a youngster Cahill played football for Balmain Police Boys Club, the Marrickville Red Devils Soccer Football Club and Plumpton/Oakhurst Soccer Club. He attended Bexley North Public School, Tempe High School and Kingsgrove North High School.

He is the Brother of Samoan Footballer and Captain Chris Cahill.^[7] He has three cousins who are professional rugby players; Ben Roberts (New Zealand Rugby League), Joe Stanley, Jeremy Stanley (New Zealand Rugby Union), along with two nephews who are also professional rugby league players, Chase Stanley, Kyle Stanley and Rugby Union professionals Sam Stanley(Saracens & England U20), Mike Stanley(Saracens & England U20), Benson Stanley and Winston Stanley (both Auckland & New Zealand).

Club career[link]

Millwall[link]

In 1997, Cahill asked his parents to allow him to travel to England to play professionally. He lived in Grays Thurrock Essex with family until he was signed by Millwall on a free transfer from Sydney United. He made his Millwall debut on 22 May 1998. In the 2003–2004 season, Cahill was the workhorse in Millwall's heroic campaign which led them to the FA Cup final for the first official time in their history, scoring in the semi-final against Sunderland, and a UEFA Cup place. Cahill polled over 100,000 votes to win the FA Cup ‘Player of the Round’ award for his performance during the semi-final victory in that competition.^[8] Cahill made 249 overall appearances for The Lions, scoring 56 goals in the process.^[9]

Before the start of the 2004–2005 season, Cahill's contract was transferred to Everton Football Club for a fee of £1.5 million,^[10] after Millwall's South East London rivals Crystal Palace ended negotiations of a potential transfer to themselves over a payment to his agents.^[11]

Everton[link]

Tim Cahill playing for Everton on 15 December 2007

Before the start of the 2004–2005 season, Cahill was transferred to Everton Football Club for a fee of £1,500,000.^[10] In his first season, he was Everton's top goal scorer^[12] and was fans' Player of the Season.^[12]

Before the 2005–06 season Cahill's contract at Everton was extended with a salary increase reflecting the impact he had made at the club.^[13] The third round of that season's FA Cup drew Cahill's former club, Millwall against Everton at The New Den. He scored the winner in the replay at Goodison Park, but chose not to celebrate his winning goal, stating, " I decided not to go mad and just pay my respects to the club that gave me my start in the game. To celebrate would have been a kick in the teeth, it is all about respect."^[14]

In October 2006, Cahill was named as one of 50 nominees for the Ballon D'Or. He was the first Everton player in 18 years to be nominated^[15] and was also the only player on the list from the Asian Football Confederation and Oceania. A month later he was out of action for 8 weeks with a knee injury sustained by colliding with teammate Lee Carsley in a home game against Aston Villa on 11 November. Cahill returned on 14 January 2007, in place of the suspended Mikel Arteta, in the 1–1 home draw against Reading. However, in March, Cahill sustained his second serious injury of 2006–07, breaking his fifth left metatarsal in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield United which ended his season.^{[citation needed]} In June 2007 he signed a contract extension at Everton that will see him stay at the club until 2012.^{[citation needed]}

Cahill returned from injury partway through the 2007–08 season in the club's first UEFA Cup Group match, a home match against Greek side Larissa on 25 October 2007, scoring from a diving header after 14 minutes in a 3–1 win.^[16] His extra time winner against Luton Town on 31 October in the League Cup, sent Everton into their first cup Quarter Final in more than 5 years.

His 100th league appearance for Everton came in the 1–1 draw against Sunderland after which Cahill mentioned Duncan Ferguson and Alan Stubbs as his two biggest influences at Everton.^[17] Cahill has shown versatility by becoming a makeshift striker during December 2008, due to injuries to all 4 of Everton's senior strikers. In this role he scored 2 goals in 3 games, both in 1–0 victories away to Manchester City and Middlesbrough, as well as a late equaliser in the Merseyside Derby,^[18] and becoming the first player since Dixie Dean to score for Everton in three Anfield derbies.^[19] His 100th career goal was scored against Arsenal at Goodison on 28 January 2009.^[20]

On 15 February, Cahill scored the third goal in a 3–1 win over Aston Villa and dedicated the goal to the victims of the 2009 Victorian bushfires.^[21] During the second half of the 2008–09 season, Cahill was used more as the "utility man" due to his versatility as Everton was plagued by injuries to playmaker Mikel Arteta as well as strikers Victor Anichebe and Yakubu and some other key players.^{[citation needed]}

Owing to Phil Neville sustaining a knee ligament injury early in the 2009–2010 season, Cahill was named as the replacement captain of Everton. Later in the season he scored his 50th goal for Everton, in a 3–1 defeat of Carlisle United in the Third Round of the FA Cup.

Everton fans have given him the nickname "Tiny Tim" after the Charles Dickens character because he is slightly short and slim.^[22] He has made a corner flag goal celebration his "trademark". The celebration, where Cahill pretends to trade punches with the corner flag while putting the Everton badge between his teeth, was first seen in the 2005–2006 season. On 2 March 2008, Cahill celebrated his goal in the 3–1 home victory of Portsmouth by crossing his wrists as if he had been handcuffed. This was in reference to the recent jailing of his brother, Sean, for Grevious Bodily Harm. The potentially controversial action was defended by Everton, though Cahill has since apologised.^[23] Cahill dedicated his winning goal in a Europa League game against BATE Borisov to the victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Samoa, miming rowing a canoe after scoring in the second half of the match in Belarus.^[24]

Cahill scored two goals against Aston Villa on 14 April 2010 both coming from headers to move his goal tally for the season to nine goals all coming from his head. Three days later against Blackburn, Cahill scored a 90th minute winner, to give Everton a 3–2 victory. This was Cahill's 10th goal of the season and first goal since December 2008 to be scored with his feet rather than his head. Cahill has now scored more than half of his goals with his head.

Cahill made his 200th appearance for Everton on 25 April 2010 in a 2–1 against Fulham. On 18 May, Cahill signed a new four-year contract with Everton.^[25] On 31 July, Cahill scored a hat-trick for the club in a pre-season friendly against Norwich City.^[26] Cahill scored his 5th goal in a Merseyside derby, in a 2–0 win over Liverpool on 17 October 2010.^[27] Cahill scored his 50th Premier League goal against Blackpool on 6 November 2010.^[28] On 20 December 2010, Cahill scored the opener as Everton gained three very important points against Manchester City at the City of Manchester Stadium.^[29] Unfortunately, the Aussie received a foot injury during the 2011 Asia Cup finals which limited his appearances until the end of the season to only 9 (8 in Premier League and 1 in FA Cup). Although, he helped Everton to make a comeback against Manchester City on 7 May. He replaced Jack Rodwell in the 64th minute and immediately won a foul from which Sylvain Distin equalized. Then Leon Osman scored after a marvelous header to give Everton the win. In the last match of the season against Chelsea Tim replaced Mikel Arteta in the 89th minute and took the captain armband for the final minutes of the season. Cahill has also earnt the title for most headed goals in the Premier League with 31 from 54 goals in total.

Following his participation in the 2011 Asian Cup, Tim had the longest goal drought in his career. He scored his last league goal on 20 December 2010 away to Manchester City and went the whole of 2011 without finding the net.^[30][31] The run stretched to 34 games, but was finally ended when he scored the opening goal, a tap in from close range, in a 1–1 draw with Blackburn Rovers on 21 January 2012.^[32]

On 13 May 2012, during Everton FC's last match against Newcastle United at Goodison Park, Cahill was sent off for violent conduct after the full time whistle for an altercation with Yohan Cabaye. Overall at the end of the 2011-2012 season, Cahill made 41 appearances and scored just 3 goals in all competitions.

International career[link]

Cahill made his début for the Australian national team in 2004.^{[citation needed]} Having represented Samoa at under-17 level at the age of 14,^[33] he was not eligible to play for Australia under FIFA rules then in place.^{[citation needed]} In 2002, Cahill unsuccessfully sought to play for the Republic of Ireland at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.^[34] FIFA changed its eligibility rules in 2004, allowing players capped at junior levels to switch international allegiance, meaning that Cahill was then able to play for the country of his birth.^{[citation needed]}

His first game for Australia was a friendly against South Africa on 30 March 2004 at Loftus Road, London.^[35] He then participated at the 2004 Olympic Games.^[36] Cahill was named Oceania Footballer of the Year for 2004.^{[citation needed]} On 16 November 2005 at Sydney's Telstra Stadium, Cahill played in the World Cup qualification match against Uruguay, where Australia qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup after a penalty shoot-out.^{[citation needed]}

2006 FIFA World Cup[link]

Cahill played in the 2006 FIFA World Cup and, in Australia's opening group game against Japan, became the first ever Australian to score a World Cup goal.^[37] Scoring a second goal in the same game, he also became the first Australian World Cup man of the match.^{[citation needed]}

Cahill also played in the group game against Brazil, which Australia lost^[38] and a drawn group game against Croatia.^[39] Cahill played the entire "round of 16" match against eventual World Cup winners Italy, which Australia lost 0–1.^[40]

2007 Asian Cup[link]

Cahill was on the Australian team which reached the quarter finals of the 2007 AFC Asian Cup. As he was recovering from injury, Cahill was used as a substitute throughout the tournament.^{[citation needed]}

2010 FIFA World Cup[link]

Cahill was instrumental in Australia's qualification for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, scoring goals in crucial matches against Qatar and Japan.^{[citation needed]} At this time, former Australian coach Rale Rasic described Cahill as the best Australian footballer he had seen in his lifetime.^[41]

Despite earlier injury concerns,^[42] Cahill played in Australia's opening group game at the 2010 FIFA World Cup against Germany where he controversially^[43] received a straight red card in the 56th minute,^[44] which meant he missed the group match against Ghana in Rustenburg.^[45] Bastian Schweinsteiger, the German player against whom the alleged foul was committed, stated that the foul decision was erroneous.^[43]

Cahill played in the final group match against Serbia, where he scored in the 69th minute.^[46] After the tournament, Cahill had scored a total of three FIFA World Cup goals, which is a national record.^[47]

2011 Asian Cup[link]

Tim Cahill was named to the 23 man squad for the 2011 Asian Cup campaign. The Socceroos made a bright start to the tournament by beating India 4–0, with Cahill scoring twice.

The final was played between Japan and Australia, with Australia dominating most of the play but were unable to score any goals which resulted in a 1–0 loss from a 109th minute volley by Tadanari Lee.
