		Not content with having former J-League player and coach Pierre Littbarski at the helm when they travel to the Club World Championships, the Oceania champions, Sydney FC, have added the respected figurehead of Kazuyoshi Miura to its squad ahead of December's showpiece event.
		As one of Japan's most endeared players, the appearance of the striker - a legend in his homeland after a distinguished 91-cap international career in which he scored 56 times - virtually guarantees local support for the Australians.
		It is believed that even though Miura has only signed an eight-game guest contract with Sydney, merchandising sales alone will recoup much of the club's outlay.
