Harry Kewell announced to the press this morning that his "Good-Luck-Charm" business is going public.
We met him in his office in Sydney, a dimly lit building with a surprising number of blood stains on the floor and dents in the wall.
"I've always been a believer in luck. " Harry told us, " I first starting making my good luck charms when I arrived at Anfield. It's kept me out of serious harms way. "
Mr. Kewell has used his footballing connections to test-market his product on a number of celebrities. "Fabio Aurelio was one of my first clients, " he bragged with a boyish grin, "he swears by our good luck charms. I gave Fernando Torres a charm each at the beginning of the 2009/2010 season. (Hoping that little extra luck would take them from 2nd to 1st.) Instead, Torres won the world cup so my charm must be working for him. "
Roy Hodgeson, another recent test subject has yet to see the charm provide him any benefits but the jubilant Mr. Kewell is optimistic he will. "Sometimes it takes a little while for the charm to kick in. Take Istanbull 2005. I was injured, but the moment my team won the trophy I was miraculously able to run on field and celebrate with them."
Unfortunately, we were forced to prematurely conclude the interview as Harry Kewell amputated his thumb from a paper cut whilst showing us his monthly sales forecast.
Perhaps thanks to his lucky charm, doctors think he may regain use of his thumb given time; and the injuries inflicted when his ambulance crashed en-route to the emergency room look relatively minor.
