Regarded as one of the best Australian players of all time, he captained the [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia national team]] at the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]], reaching the Round of 16, which remains their joint-best performance to date.

During his 16-year professional career, Viduka mostly played abroad for clubs in Croatia, Scotland and England. His four [[UEFA Champions League]] goals are the most scored in the competition by an Australian player.

==Club career==

===Melbourne Knights===
In 1993, Viduka started his professional career in Australia for [[Melbourne Knights FC|Melbourne Knights]] (which up until the 1993 season was known as Melbourne Croatia) and became an Australian international in June of the following year. In his two seasons with the Knights, he was top goal scorer in the [[National Soccer League]] (NSL) and was twice awarded the [[Johnny Warren Medal]] for NSL Best Player of the Year<ref>[http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/NSLawards.html Player Of The Year Awards – OzFootball], accessed 8 July 2006 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060427114512/http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/NSLawards.html|date=27 April 2006}}</ref> in [[National Soccer League 1993-94|1993–94]] and [[National Soccer League 1994-95|1994–95]]. His time at Melbourne Knights included one NSL title in the 1994–95 season. The grandstand at [[Mansion Stadium|Knights' Stadium]], home of the Knights, was renamed the ''"Mark Viduka Stand"'' in his honour and paid for with his transfer money.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/former-socceroo-captain-mark-viduka-will-never-forget-his-roots-20150619-ghs5c1.html|title=Former Socceroo captain Mark Viduka will never forget his roots|work=Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=19 June 2019|language=en}}</ref>

===Dinamo Zagreb===
In 1995, Viduka moved to Croatia to play with [[GNK Dinamo Zagreb|Croatia Zagreb]] (now Dinamo Zagreb). He spent three and a half seasons with the club, helping it to win three [[Double (association football)|doubles]] in Croatia between 1996 and 1998. He was also part of the Croatia Zagreb team that reached the third round of the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in [[1997–98 UEFA Cup|1997]] and went on to make his [[UEFA Champions League]] group stage debut with the club a year later. He won the Best Foreigner Footballer Award in the [[Croatian First Football League|Croatian League]] in his time at Zagreb.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/mark-viduka-interview | title=Mark Viduka Interview | publisher=Socceroos.com | date=3 May 2000 | access-date=13 May 2019}}</ref>

===Celtic===
[[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] bought Viduka in December 1998 for [[Pound sterling|£]]3.5&nbsp;million. In the same month as his signing, Celtic announced that Viduka had quit the club without kicking a ball for them, citing stress as his reason.<ref>{{cite news|title=Viduka rejected Celtic|work=[[BBC Sport]]|publisher=bbc.co.uk|date=10 July 2004|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/3882507.stm|access-date=6 May 2008|quote=Viduka enjoyed a successful spell at Parkhead, despite a rocky start which saw him walk out four days after signing due to stress.}}</ref>

A week later, Croatia Zagreb complained that it had not received the agreed fee for the player. These issues were eventually resolved and Viduka made his first appearance in a Celtic shirt on 16 February 1999, scoring for the under-21 team as an over-age player in a 4–2 victory against [[Motherwell F.C.|Motherwell]]. After making his first team debut against [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]] on 27 February 1999,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportinglife.com/football/scottishpremier/celtic/reports/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/99/02/27/SOCCER_Celtic_Nightlead.html&TEAMHD=celtic&DIV=scotsprem&TEAM=CELTIC&RH=Celtic&PREV_SEASON=1997|title=Celtic 2 Dundee United 1|publisher=Sporting Life|date=27 February 1999|access-date=21 August 2010}}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> his first goals for the club came when he scored a brace against [[Greenock Morton F.C.|Greenock Morton]] in the [[Scottish Cup]] on 8 March 1999.<ref>{{cite news

He was regarded as a skilled player, with [[Josip Šimunić]] noting his ability to hold the ball up well and bring other players into the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theroar.com.au/2010/12/09/viduka-to-be-honoured-with-alex-tobin-medal/|title=Viduka to be honoured with Alex Tobin medal|date=9 December 2010|website=Theroar.com.au|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

In February 2000, lower league team [[Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.|Inverness Caledonian Thistle]] defeated Celtic in a shock upset in the third round of the [[Scottish Cup]]. During half time Viduka reportedly threw his boots in the bin and refused to play in the second half after an altercation with assistant coach, [[Eric Black]]. The match ended 3–1 with Celtic fans in uproar.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/2000-02-08:+Celtic+1-3+Inverness+Caledonian+Thistle,+Scottish+Cup|title=2000-02-08: Celtic 1-3 Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Scottish Cup - The Celtic Wiki|website=Thecelticwiki.com|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

In March 2000, Viduka assisted Celtic to win Scotland's [[1999-2000 Scottish League Cup]]. He left after his first full season at the club.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/24780841.played-best-football-celtic---supporters-greatest-earth/ | title=I played my best football at Celtic - the supporters are greatest in the world | date=9 December 2024 }}</ref>

===Leeds United===
[[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] manager [[David O'Leary]] signed Viduka just before the [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01 season]] for £6&nbsp;million. At Leeds, he was expected to line up in a three-pronged attack alongside the previous season's top scorer [[Michael Bridges]] and Australia teammate [[Harry Kewell]], but injuries to those two saw him form a partnership with [[Alan Smith (footballer, born 1980)|Alan Smith]] in Leeds' Champions League matches, while [[Robbie Keane]] – signed on loan from [[Inter Milan]] as cover for Bridges – also benefited in their [[Premier League]] matches together in the second half of the season. In his first season, Viduka scored 22 goals, including all four in a memorable 4–3 win over [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] at [[Elland Road]]. He signed a five-year deal in the summer of 2001 and would star in both domestic competitions and Europe, with Leeds finishing in the country's top four in 2000–01, and fifth in 2001–02. In the summer of 2001, Viduka was the subject of interest from [[A.C. Milan]], whom he supported as a child, but the move ultimately did not happen,<ref name="espn-interview-2020" /> and held talks with [[Alex Ferguson]] at [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]], but decided against moving across the [[Pennines]] to join [[Leeds United F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry|Leeds' rivals]].<ref name="espn-interview-2020">{{cite web |author1=Michael Cain |title=EXCLUSIVE: Mark Viduka breaks his silence on Leeds, the Socceroos and Lucas Neill |url=https://www.espn.co.uk/football/australia-aus/story/4080510/exclusive-mark-viduka-breaks-his-silence-on-leedsthe-socceroos-and-lucas-neill |publisher=ESPN |access-date=4 October 2020 |date=5 April 2020}}</ref>

In the [[2002–03 in English football|2002–03 campaign]], Viduka scored another 22 goals, including a hat-trick in a 6–1 win at [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]]<ref>{{cite news| url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/2895709.stm | work=BBC News | title=Leeds thrash Charlton | date=5 April 2003}}</ref> and the winner in a 3–2 victory at [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] on the penultimate day of the season that effectively saved United from relegation.

However, the club's financial crisis continued, and resulted in the sale of key players including Harry Kewell and Robbie Keane. In the 2003–04 season, Viduka was again top scorer at Leeds, finishing the season strongly as was the case in the previous season, as interim manager [[Eddie Gray (footballer, born 1948)|Eddie Gray]] attempted to steer the club away from the Premier League trap door following the departure of [[Peter Reid]] in November after eight months as manager.

However, during his final appearance in the jersey, Leeds were relegated in a 4–1 loss to [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] at [[Reebok Stadium]]. After scoring a penalty, Viduka was sent off following two yellow cards. He was sold to [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] in the summer of 2004 as United's financial difficulties deepened.<ref>{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=8 July 2004|title=Viduka completes Boro move|url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/jul/08/newsstory.sport6|access-date=18 August 2021|website=The Guardian|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last1=Walker|first1=Michael|last2=Taylor|first2=Daniel|date=16 January 2004|title=Boro move for £5m Viduka as Leeds buckle|url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/jan/16/newsstory.sport|access-date=18 August 2021|website=the Guardian|language=en}}</ref>

===Middlesbrough===
Following Middlesbrough's [[EFL Cup|League Cup]] victory in 2004, the club qualified for the [[2004–05 UEFA Cup]]. The squad was bolstered with a number of high-profile signings to cope with the increased fixture list and to ensure it could compete on the European stage. Viduka was signed from Leeds for £4.5 million<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2004/jul/08/newsstory.sport6|title=Viduka signs for Middlesbrough|access-date=21 May 2020|date=8 July 2004|work=[[The Guardian]]}}</ref> and unveiled as one of the marquee signings of the summer.

Viduka's debut season at Middlesbrough was initially impressive, albeit frustrated by injuries. However, in his second season, the [[2005–06 in English football|2005–06 season]], Viduka was in sensational form in all competitions for Middlesbrough, reaching double figures early on in the season, including a stunning volley away at [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham]].<ref>{{cite video|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBIjIuiXbXQ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/nBIjIuiXbXQ| archive-date=12 December 2021 |url-status=live|title=Viduka goal vs Birmingham City away|access-date=21 May 2020|date=23 August 2005|publisher=mfc YouTube channel|work=[[YouTube]]}}{{cbignore}}</ref> He played an important part in helping the club reach the League Cup quarter final, [[FA Cup]] semi final and [[2006 UEFA Cup final|UEFA cup final]]. Viduka helped to spearhead a European campaign which saw the club overturn a three-goal deficit in the quarter and semi final second legs of the competition to proceed to the final. Middlesbrough eventually lost in the final to [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] on 10 May 2006, a result which Viduka has since said took him four months to get over.

In August 2006, he was awarded the number 9 shirt at Middlesbrough, his preferred number at all his previous clubs. Viduka's third season at Middlesbrough was his most prolific, scoring 19 goals in all competitions. With his contract due to expire at the end of the [[2006–07 in English football|2006–07 season]], Middlesbrough manager [[Gareth Southgate]] expressed his interest in retaining Viduka. Southgate reiterated his wish to retain Viduka's services and revealed he would offer him a new contract. Given his impressive haul for the season, Viduka attracted interest from a number of clubs who were hoping to sign him on a free transfer as he became out-of-contract. Viduka joined [[North East England|north-east]] rivals [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] on a [[Free transfer (football)|free transfer]] on 7 June 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/6729863.stm|title=Viduka makes switch to Newcastle|access-date=17 January 2018|date=7 June 2007|publisher=bbc.co.uk|work=[[BBC Sport]]}}</ref>

Viduka remains Middlesbrough's top goalscorer at [[Riverside Stadium|the Riverside]],<ref>{{cite interview|url=https://www.mfc.co.uk/news/watch-boro-icons-mark-viduka|title=Top Riverside goal scorer|access-date=21 May 2020|date=20 May 2020|publisher=mfc.co.uk|work=MFC official website}}</ref> and regularly features in Middlesbrough fan polls for top XI Riverside era players.

===Newcastle United===
[[File:Mark Viduka in pink scarf.JPG|thumb|170px|Viduka warming up for Newcastle]]
In signing for Newcastle, Viduka became manager [[Sam Allardyce]]'s first signing at the club. His contract was for two years, with the option of a third year. He made his Newcastle debut in a Premier League match at Bolton on 11 August and scored his first goal on 26 August against his former club Middlesbrough.

On 23 September, he scored a further two goals against [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] to bring his tally up to three for Newcastle. On 23 December, he again scored two goals against [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]]. After an injury lay off over the new year, Viduka was brought back into the side by new manager [[Kevin Keegan]], where he played as part of a 4–3–3 formation along with [[Michael Owen]] and [[Obafemi Martins]]. This new formation brought about a change of fortune for Newcastle as the three strikers rescued them from a relegation battle, with Viduka scoring two more goals over the rest of the season and setting up others for Martins and Owen before picking up an [[Achilles' heel]] injury before the last game of the season.

Viduka made his return to the first team after six months out injured at former club Middlesbrough, coming on for Martins as a substitute on 29 November 2008. This was a great relief for manager [[Joe Kinnear]], who stated that he had previously feared the Australian's career might have been prematurely ended by his injury woes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4596801,00.html|title=Kinnear feared for Viduka|website=Skysports.com|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> Later, Kinnear suggested to reporters that Viduka might call time on his career at the end of the [[2008–09 Newcastle United F.C. season|2008–09 season]]. Viduka, however, later expressed his desire to continue playing past this season after acquiring a groin injury in late December.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4682429,00.html|title=Viduka aims to play on|website=Skysports.com|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> After returning from injury, he was immediately used by newly appointed coach [[Alan Shearer]] in an attempt to prevent the team's relegation. After playing a [[man of the match]] performance in the 3–1 victory against his former team Middlesbrough, Mark appeared to have scored his first goal of the season against [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]]. Match referee [[Howard Webb]], however, ruled that [[Kevin Nolan]] impeded goalkeeper [[Mark Schwarzer]] disallowing the goal. He was released following Newcastle's relegation.

==International career==
Viduka was available to be selected to [[Australia men's national soccer team|Australia]], [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]] and [[Ukraine national football team|Ukraine]] due to his origins, and he began his international career with Australia in a friendly series against [[South Africa national football team|South Africa]] at the age of 18 in June 1994.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.planetfootball.com/nostalgia/story-mark-viduka-lazy-enigma-australia-grew-love/|title = The story of Mark Viduka, the 'lazy' enigma Australia grew to love|date = 9 October 2021}}</ref> The first game was played in Adelaide and the second game was played in Sydney.

In 1996, Viduka joined the [[Olyroos]] as they competed in the [[1996 Summer Olympics]]. In Australia's first group game they lost to France 2–0. In their second group match they defeated Saudi Arabia 2–1. Viduka scored Australia's second goal in the 63rd minute with a clever back flick past the goalkeeper. In Australia's final group game Viduka made a contribution early in the game with an assist to [[Aurelio Vidmar]] in the 3rd minute. Despite Australia's early 0–2 lead, Spain made a spirited comeback and won 3–2. Due to the losses to France and Spain the Olyroos did not progress further in the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/Olympics/1996.html|title=Olyroos 1996 Matches|website=Ozfootball.net|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

Viduka featured in the two World Cup qualifiers against [[Iran national football team|Iran]] in 1997. Australia failed to qualify.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espnfc.com/story/989739/rewind-iran-stun-australia-to-reach-1998-world-cup|title=Socceroos suffer a shock|website=Espnfc.com|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> Viduka was also a part of the Australia team that competed in the 1997 [[Confederations Cup]]. He scored Australia's opening goal in a 3–1 win over [[Mexico national football team|Mexico]] in Australia's first group game. However, in the final against [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]] he was sent off in the 24th minute after receiving a red card. Australia went on to lose the encounter 6–0.<ref name=FIFA1997>{{cite web|url=https://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/archive/saudiarabia1997/teams/team=43976/index.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160408113251/http://www.fifa.com/confederationscup/archive/saudiarabia1997/teams/team=43976/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=8 April 2016|title=FIFA Confederations Cup Saudi Arabia 1997 - Teams - Australia |last=FIFA.com|website=FIFA.com|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

In 1999, Viduka featured in a friendly against Brazil. The game was played at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] and concluded with a 2–2 draw.

Viduka began captaining Australia in September 2005 in place of the injured [[Craig Moore]], the regular captain. His first game as captain was in a [[World Cup Qualifier]] against [[Solomon Islands national football team|Solomon Islands]] in Sydney, in which Australia won 7–0. He scored 2 goals on the occasion including a spectacular bicycle-kick goal. Viduka would go on to score a third goal only to be denied a hat-trick after being ruled offside. It was his first time playing against a team from the Oceana region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-09-03/viduka-stars-in-easy-win-for-socceroos/2096106|title=Viduka stars in easy win for Socceroos|date=3 September 2005|website=Abc.net.au|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> In October 2005, he continued his captaincy when he led Australia to a 5-0 crushing of [[Jamaica national football team|Jamaica]] at Craven Cottage in a friendly game. In the 47th minute of the game [[Archie Thompson]] crossed to Viduka, who controlled the ball, thought about appealing for handball but then had time to crash the ball into the net.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccer/australia-crushes-jamaica/2005/10/10/1128796413238.html|title=Australia crushes Jamaica - Soccer - Sport|website=Theage.com.au|date=10 October 2005|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

Viduka thrived under [[Guus Hiddink]]'s tenure as coach of the national squad and led Australia as it qualified for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] in Germany over a [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (play-off CONMEBOL-OFC)|two-leg qualifier against Uruguay]]. In the second leg, during the first half a swift flick kick from Viduka found [[Harry Kewell]] inside the box. Kewell scuffed his shot but the ball bounced kindly to [[Mark Bresciano]] who went on to score the goal that forced the Qualifier to go to a penalty shoot out.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socceroos.com.au/article/greatest-socceroos-moments-in-australia---bresciano-stuns/9byuxj8gwgrh11c7cdz0gqye7|title=Greatest Socceroos moments in Australia – Bresciano stuns Uruguay|website=Socceroos|date=21 July 2012|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> Viduka would go on to miss his penalty, however Australia went on to win the shootout anyway.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-11-16/socceroos-qualify-for-world-cup/742402|title=Socceroos qualify for World Cup|date=16 November 2005|website=Abc.net.au|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref>

It was the first time in 32 years that Australia qualified to participate in the World Cup. On 21 May 2006, he was named as the Australian captain for the World Cup.<ref>

In a lead up to the World Cup, Viduka captained Australia to friendly matches against the [[Netherlands national football team|Netherlands]] and [[Greece national football team|Greece]]. The Greece game was played at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]]. Australia won 1–0.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.smh.com.au/ftimages/2006/05/25/1148524822682.html|title=Australia v Greece - World Cup 2006 - Sport|website=Smh.com.au|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> Australia's game with the Netherlands ended with a 1–1 draw. After trailing 1-0 Australia earned a penalty in the second half. Viduka took the spot kick, only to hit the top bar. However [[Tim Cahill]] scored of the rebound.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com.au/football/australia-has-never-lost-to-netherlands-before-in-three-previous-meetings/news-story/8f672c43c9a243eb2d2c5f252a5daf23|title=History says: Socceroos 3, Holland 0|date=17 June 2014|website=Foxsports.com.au|access-date=17 January 2018}}</ref> Viduka also led Australia's national team to their first World Cup finals victory with a 3–1 win over [[Japan national football team|Japan]] in June 2006, as well as guiding them through an encounter with [[Brazil national football team|Brazil]], losing 2–0, and a controversial bout with [[Croatia national football team|Croatia]], ending with a 2–2 draw. He then led Australia into the second round, where they lost their round of 16 match to [[Italy national football team|Italy]] by a controversial penalty goal scored by [[Francesco Totti]] in the final minutes of the match. Although a regular scorer in the Premier League, Viduka has struggled to score any significant goals for the ''Socceroos'', and the 2006 World Cup was no different.

Viduka considered retiring from international competition after the 2006 World Cup, citing increasing family commitments as the primary reason. In September 2006, however, he confirmed that he would continue playing for Australia and intended to compete in the 2007 [[Asian Cup]].<ref>

}}</ref> In a [[friendly match|friendly]] against [[Singapore national football team|Singapore]], a week before the start of the [[2007 AFC Asian Cup|Asian Cup]], Viduka scored two headed goals in a 3–0 victory for Australia; former Leeds teammate Harry Kewell scored the third. It was the second time he scored two goals in an international match, having previously done so against the [[Solomon Islands national football team|Solomon Islands]] in 2005.

On Australia's first ever Asian Cup participation, Viduka captained the side and he scored their solitary goal against [[Iraq national football team|Iraq]], a game which they ultimately lost 1–3. In the next match, he scored two goals against co-host team [[Thailand national football team|Thailand]], defeating them 4–0; other goals scored by [[Michael Beauchamp]] and Harry Kewell and making them fall out of the remaining competition. At one stage, he led the goalscoring at the Asian Cup tournament, although his team was eliminated in the quarter-finals in a penalty shootout against Japan. Subsequent to that loss, question marks hang over whether Viduka will continue his international career.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/internationals/6910619.stm|title=Viduka faces Australia decision|date=22 July 2007|website=News.bbc.co.uk|access-date=17 January 2018|publisher=BBC News}}</ref><ref>"Viduka mulls over Australia decision", Australian Broadcasting Corporation news website, 23 July 2007; [https://archive.today/20120716065655/http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2007/07/23/1985099.htm?section=sport]</ref> Two years on from the 2007 Asian Cup, he was still yet to return for the ''Socceroos'', either stating he had injuries or club commitments. He missed World Cup Qualifiers against [[Qatar national football team|Qatar]], [[Bahrain national football team|Bahrain]] and Japan, even though fully fit and asked to play by then-Socceroos manager [[Pim Verbeek]].
