Australia's ageing talisman Tim Cahill has endured a rocky road to his fourth World Cup but insists "given the chance, I'll always produce when it counts".
Cahill, 38, who has spent most of this season on the sidelines, will join exalted company if he can silence his doubters and find back of the net in Russia.
Only three other players have scored at four World Cups -- Brazilian legend Pele and the Germans Uwe Seeler and Miroslav Klose.
Cahill is the Socceroos' all-time top scorer, with 50 goals, and has 105 caps for Australia, a record for an outfield player.
"He's a special case," Australia's Dutch coach Bert van Marwijk said.
"He's special in everything. He's 38 and maybe one of the best-ever players for Australia. He's a very good striker."

====================
"Have a look at Tim Cahill's track record. He's a guy who has produced for the Socceroos and Australia so many times... he's got a few weeks of intense training and he'll be right up there."
