Shola Ameobi hopes Harry Kewell given a chance at Notts County

Shola Ameobi has spoken in favour of Harry Kewell, claiming the Australian has the "hunger to be great" and hoping Notts County will give him the chance to achieve his goals.

The former Magpies striker, who was released in the summer, did his UEFA A coaching license with Kewell, who succeeded Kevin Nolan as manager at the club at the end of August.

Followingh a bumpy start, Kewell eventually got Notts up and running, with three wins on the trot and five unbeaten overall.

"I did my A license with Harry. He's always had his own mind, been his own man," Ameobi told Sky Sports Soccer Saturday last week.

"He's gone into management and he believes in his style of play. He wants his players to believe in that and that is what will come out with Harry.

"He doesn't mince his words. He wants his players to live a certain way, act a certain way and play a certain way.

"Harry loves it. He says he love it more than playing. He's got the hunger to be great and I hope he gets the chance to do that."
