I had great memories of going to tha Melbourne Knights games as a kid in tha 90s watching this guy play . It was great to see talent rewarded and he showed parts of tha world what a deadly threat he was inside tha box . One of our greatest exports

Viduka was an immense talent and probably my all time favourite socceroo. Many a late evening/early morning staying up late to watch him bang in goals and dazzle defences for Celtic and Leeds. Unfortunately he got too burly and lost some speed otherwise he could’ve played for Barca or Man U (he almost signed).
Right up there with as one of the very best strikers of his era in the UK. The touch and skill, with his size and scoring nous...If the Socceroos had had one good midfielder with attacking passing skills...we could've gone close to a WC.
Reminds me of Alen Boksic.. same size, strong dribbling, same work rate, big strong lads.. although slower and a bit worse of a first touch he could finish just as good. Top striker in this days
I'm a Boro fan so watched them both.. boksic was a better dribbler, faster and had more flair but viduka had a better touch and finishing. Still quite similar though I agree
Watching this makes me think that this guy could've played for a top club. No offence to the likes of Leeds, Middlesbrough, Celtic, etc (all decent enough clubs) but Viduka seemed to have it all and perhaps should've had a chance at one of the big guns.
0.23,,, Commentator "The Australian, born in Croatia and signed from Celtic".... That's very similar to Mark Viduka. Except Viduka is an "Australian, born in AUSTRALIA and signed from Celtic"
@@xxxxxJAYMILLZxxxxxxx Born in Australia, Played and captained the Australia national team. Never had a Croatian passport. All google searches, book references etc state he is an Aussie. Check your fact's "BUD" I am aware he is living there atm, which makes no difference.
You are silly man. He is 100% Croatian, Croatian blood and lives in Croatia. He even admitted he would root for Croatia against Australia if they played in an interview recently.
Cara eu sou brasileiro e claro temos muitos bons jogadores mas eu gostava de ver o Viduka jogando. Tanto que eu tenho a sua camisa 👕 do New Castle n36 do Viduka 👍👍
Good user name. What was his work rate like - he was too busy sitting in midfield trying to get the ball foward. He was pure quality and the best striker to ever come out of Australia.
For a big man he was so light on his feet. He had amazing touch around the goal, just not for Australia.
Bloke deserves a FIFA 21 icon card
Should get a PL hero card. Cahill got one but for me viduka deserved one more.
Ya don't say
@@conorsmith8551 viduka was a better player than Cahill he is legend material
@@anotniofarage yep definitely, great finisher
Billy Bremner as well

My favourite Leeds united player. He owns a cafe now in Zagreb?? Did you know this??
@@conorsmith8551 Give me the address and I'll pay a visit.

@@conorsmith8551 Thanks for that. Would love to visit Zagreb as well. From a Leeds fan of over 40 years.
He was one of Australia's best. Happy birthday Mark Viduka!
Had great foot skills. Some his first touches are unique. Awesome player

- At his best The Duke was world class. We still love him at Elland Road. 💛💙⚽️👍
yeah, he use to pack the stands at Somers St....legend....
Top class striker got some great goals for the club's he went to 👌👍🍀🇮🇪

Great player and also Luka Modrić and Viduka are couisins
STRONGBOW ♥️
“ I don’t care if we loose every game !, as long as we win the league “ mark viduka
10:08 goal is GOAT material..never seen that one. Awesome
Ha was just going to comment this goal, as I did not remember it, but it's an absolute stunner. Top class!
Will echo this. Don't think I've seen it either but legit one of the best goals of the Premier League era.
Remember my dad telling me about this goal and to watch MOTD for it...unreal, Viduka, Hasselbaink, Yakubu forward line...UTB
The greatest Australian player
Proud to know this Great Man
One of the best player australia had
10:10.... what a goal
This was the golden age of strikers. Haaland would not be out of place back then but he would have more competition.
Class. What might have been, without Ridsdale.
V-BOMBER!
Leavet his man alone in the box at your own risk.
Untouchable vs Liverpool
I love this man.
Viduka LEEDS UNITED
Look like a difender😄 but.....
Luka modric is cousin of him
The GOAT???? Do you not know what the goat means. Man was good like but c'mon
Of Australian football
Celtic
Shame he came to my fav club at the end of his powers :/
The original Firmino
@CheesyChicken4LiFe he was better than Berbatov imo
120kilo sack of Shi at Newcastle
GOAT? Really? 😂
Credit to Schwarzer for making a career after THAT game...
Best ever player for Australia. 🇭🇲🇭🇷

I love Mark Viduka. Maybe my favorite player of all time. 🇦🇺
Viduka and Kewell Australia best players by far
Tim Cahill?
@@fordmanfender6071 yes hes up there
@@fordmanfender6071 He couldn't lace either of their boots tbh.
best australian player ever. very underrated. great video !
Think Tim Cahill is the best but Viduka was still up there.
How good’s this?!
Loving it!
Ridiculously Underrated

Leeds were a big club in the Premier league at the time.
he'd have been huge in a top team, had such a good strike rate.
He has this unique turn. It seems so simple but its works that what make him dangerous
Shocking defending
0.23,,, Commentator "The Australian, born in Croatia and signed from Celtic"....
That's very similar to Mark Viduka.

1 st generation Croatian.. he’s a Croat bud, currently lives in Zagreb
@@xxxxxJAYMILLZxxxxxxx
Born in Australia, Played and captained the
Australia national team.
Never had a Croatian passport.
All google searches, book references etc
state he is an Aussie.

You are silly man. He is 100% Croatian, Croatian blood and lives in Croatia.
He even admitted he would root for Croatia against Australia if they played in an interview recently.
@@Antonio_Serdar But he refused to play for the Croatian national team & selected Australia.
@@anastasios3006
So what? He is still Croatian, Australian is not even a nation, it is just a mix of nations from different parts of the world.
Mark Viduka not born in Croatia.
Viduka hated Birmingham!
Yesterday was his birthday, which should be a national holiday in Australia
LMAOOO
Cara eu sou brasileiro e claro temos muitos bons jogadores mas eu gostava de ver o Viduka jogando.

Favorite Australian player 🇦🇺
He is Croatian, even lives in Croatia now. Both parents are Croatian and he speaks the language perfectly.
Song in this video, please?
Kewell who??????
Đơn giản, Quyết đoán!
So many beautiful finishes. Such deftness of touch and lightness of feet. And he was ours.
I loved him at Newcastle. Wish we'd been able to get him a few years earlier.
Only 90s and earlys 20 kids will know this man how good he was in wc2006 also as a cap
king head sure goal lucky viduka.
My coach interviewed him
Great.
Too bad he never showed up in Australian colours. Was always a passenger, especially in our 05/06 team which was probably our strongest ever.
Good user name. What was his work rate like - he was too busy sitting in midfield trying to get the ball foward. He was pure quality and the best striker to ever come out of Australia.
Ya because the rest of the squad suck LOL
Is this a joke
