Viduka seemed to be genuinely interested in returning to Oz and playing in the A-League, but have to wait and see who wears the pants in his house and whether he heads back to Croatia with the cheese and kisses.

If he just gave one last season…just 1.
Be it at the Melbourne Knights (raising the profile of state comp) or a HAL club as his farewell…. i would be a very happy camper. I just feel that hes not finished, there is plenty of time for relaxing.
Dukes dosnt have to make a big commitment. A 4 game guest stint at the Knights is enough to test the water.
After all, he is family at that club.

One of Australia’s greatest players. I don’t care if he never announces his retirement. I’ll always remember the goals he scored against Liverpool while playing for Leeds. Truely a magic EPL moment!!

It is always good to hear the perspective of those that have been servants of the game at the highest level. We don’t have to agree with the opinions offered but we should respect them. In that light I am looking forward to the interview (assuming it will make the Fox Sports web site and I don’t get geo-blocked)

Yeah, that would be worth seeing – wonder if he can score on the table as well.

Slater and Bozza are former socceroos teammates of the Duke so the banter should be good and lively.

I wonder how many times he will make Slater look stupid – which isn’t that hard to do really.

It will be interesting, but this is Matchday Saturday so the big question will be can he beat Bozza and Slater at table soccer.

Really the non comment and drifting around by Viduka fits nicely into the preception of him as a player … too lazy to actually annouce his retirement

Maybe Viduka will finally announced his retirement

Hey I still live in hope.

My bet is he is going to open a Croatian restaurant on the beach at Geelong with his personal football memorabilia hanging on the walls. With full size action shots of the Duke with the clubs he had played for and the Australian National Football team whilst in Germany’s 2006 WC. What ever he does—it will be great to have the big fella living here permanently in Australia. Btw I hope he gives out the address of his new restaurant so one day I can book a table and have a discussion with him and his life experiences with my guest of honour Rebecca Wilson. Go you good thing Rebecca.
