Former Australian coach Rale Rasic has labelled Tim Cahill as the greatest player the country has produced. Speaking to Fox Sports, Rasic said, "Without a doubt, Tim Cahill is the best Australian footballer I have seen in my time. "I have huge respect for guys like Mark Bosnich, Ray Baartz, Mark Viduka, Harry Kewell, John Kosmina and whoever else you want to name. But, for me, Cahill is a phenomenal talent and stands above all of them. "He is miles ahead." The 28-year old has scored 14 goals in 29 internationals, including the first goal in the most recent Socceroos outing against Qatar, his first game for his country in eight months. He constantly provides his English Premier League club, Everton, with scoring opportunities and scores once every three games which is a fantastic record for an attacking midfielder. "You cannot deny his qualities," Rasic added. "He is the complete footballer. He has presence, poise and the ability to read the game. He is great in the air, his heading is exceptional. He is an extraordinary goalscorer and he just knows where to be at the right time. You can't coach that in a player. You are born with it. It's pure natural ability."
