A biography for Harry Kewellhasn’t been written yet.
“I don't think people saw me as a coach. But as a player I concentrated a lot on playing the game and I was always interested in the thinking side of football and speaking to managers about why they would pick a certain formation or play people in certain positions.”
“The first team play in a certain way and when players are thrown into the first team you want to make sure they can handle it, and I think five of my players made their debut in the Premier League.”
“I went into a club who were sitting dead last in League Two, then I got them out of the relegation zone within 10 games, only to then get the sack... I don't get it.”
“I was always a player who asked questions, and it wasn't to be cheeky or rude, but I always wanted to know what the manager wanted.”
“No, I don't miss playing. I love coaching that much. Maybe if we're short of a player in training I would make the numbers up, but that is as far it goes.”
“When I was playing, some people said I was a luxury player, but I was just a hard worker.”
