Cahill Expressway renamed for soccer star

AAP Updated June 17, 2013, 4:47 pm

An iconic Sydney road is being temporarily renamed in honour of superstar striker Tim Cahill as the Socceroos make their bid for the World Cup.

The Cahill Expressway was originally named after former NSW premier "JJ" Cahill who opened it in 1958.

But from now until the end of Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Iraq it will be known as the Tim Cahill Expressway.

"I am delighted to rename the Cahill Expressway the Tim Cahill Expressway from now until full time tomorrow night," Premier Barry O'Farrell announced on Monday.

"Tim is one of our greatest Socceroos.

"If he scores tomorrow night against Iraq at ANZ Stadium, Tim will equal the record for the most number of goals in Socceroos history."

Cahill said he was "extremely grateful and humbled by this wonderful gesture".

"(Tuesday) night is a huge night for the Socceroos and for me personally, as we push to qualify for Brazil 2014 and without the support of the NSW people, and all Australians, we would not be in this position."

The Tim Cahill Expressway links the Harbour Bridge to Sydney's eastern suburbs via Circular Quay.

The match, during which Cahill will have a chance to equal the 29 goal record held by Damian Mori, has sold out.

Kick-off is at 7.30pm (AEST) Tuesday.

Yes. We should.

Dont be like Msia. Wait until Late P Ramlee passed away, then started paying tribute, promoted him lah etc etc.

But then again P Ramlee was a Malay and over at Msia. Whereas Fandi is a Malay. But in SinkieLand.

Only a country and its people who are a complete abomination could come up with the word "Socceroos".

P Ramlee is a legend & a cultural icon, not only known to the Malays, but other races too, in S.E.A. , Asia & the world..who is Fandi Ahmad?

 

[Rogue Trader]

he was undoubtedly our best .. what has Fandi achieved for singapore football?

if there's a road named after him then there should be roads named after the early 80s Lion squad.

Hes the first Singaporean footballer to play in Europe, the first Singaporean millionaire sportsperson and first Singaporean sportsperson to have a published biography, Fandi has been called a national legend.

 

[smiling]

don't think fandi has reached a level where a road should be named after him
he's just a good footballer
has he done much for the country
has he made Singapore football known to the world ..
wait for the 1st Olympic gold medallist - then we name something after him ..

Fandi would rather take cash then have some road named after him.
LKY on the other hand......will get many places named after him after he fuck off........expect public holiday too.

Forget about road names, put Fandi's face on a new set of Singapore dollar notes.

I'd rather have Fandi's face than the face of that tree-planting zombie.
