Before Cahill, Kewell & Viduka, there was a lad from Newcastle who was the first Australian to crack the English Premier League, putting Aussie players on the map. His book Walk Alone: The Craig Johnston Story certainly inspired many players, including myself, to try their luck overseas in the hope of making the big time.
Here is a brief look at not only his career but other talents including the Predator boot which he designed.
I urge all budding juniors, with dreams of one day heading overseas, to read his book.
