Australian football legend Tim Cahill visited Adelaide yesterday in conjunction with the release of his autobiography ‘Legacy’. 

Football Federation SA was delighted to host an exclusive event with Cahill in which he sat down for a one-on-one interview with Channel 9 sports presenter Tom Rehn. 

Discussing ‘Legacy’, his illustrious international football career and more, Cahill gave open and honest answers, delighting the crowd of close to 450 people. 

Prior to the formal interview, Cahill engaged with local footballers involved in Football Federation SA Visually Impaired program and an Inclusive SA team. 

Stating that it was an ‘unreal experience’, Cahill took to the mini-pitch with the children, also wearing a blindfold with the visually impaired group to gain a better understanding of the challenges the youngsters face. 

Cahill took to social media to state his enjoyment from the experience: 

“THANKYOU ADELAIDE for the love for ‪#‎LEGACY overwhelmed with the turnout. 

“Want to share my experience today when I met a group of kids that taught me how to play BLIND SOCCER. Today was so inspirational to see the kids embrace the game we love through the sound of a rattling football to know where the ball is. I tried so hard and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. 

“Today I spoke to a sell-out crowd of 450 people about my story of my career and helped to inspire kids and families to follow their dreams. All the money raised tonight for went to the organisation to help send teams overseas to play football. #LEGACY” 

Futsal and Regional State teams along with Inclusive SA and SA Visually Impaired, all had opportunities to raise funds through ticket sales to ‘An Evening with Tim Cahill’ with Football Federation SA redirecting any further profits from ticket sales back in to Futsal and Regional State Teams.
