Fox Sports are claiming a world exclusive with Mark Viduka appearing on Fox Sports’ Hyundai Matchday Saturday. Despite the Matchday Saturday tag, this week the show airs on Friday night as a live Grand Final Preview Special.
They will, of course, also be showing the Hyundai A-League grand final live on Saturday.
Former Socceroos striker Mark Viduka has gone into something of an early retirement from professional football since last year. He walked away from lucrative offers in the EPL and other countries to take time out from the world game.
Mark is married to a lovely Croatian lady and has three sons. They all live happily ever after in Croatia.
But it looks like Mark is back in Melbourne to enjoy some time with his Australian family and maybe watch the Hyundai Golden Toilet Seat decider.
Viduka has remained silent about his future since quitting Newcastle United after they were relegated from the Barclays Premier League club last June, offering no explanation for his departure from the game and absence from Australia’s FIFA World Cup 2010 qualifying campaign.
But apparently Mark will reveal all on Friday night.
But what can Viduka tell us that we don’t already know or could have guessed for ourselves anyway:
* Why he walked away from the game of football
* Is he going to return to football now as a player, manager or mentor
* Will he sign for Melbourne Heart and join the A-League
* Will he re-enter the Socceroos camp as a player or trainer
* Who will win the A-League Grand Final
It’ll be interesting to see what he has to say.

Even though St.Pauli ultimately lost a high-scoring affair, Jackson Irvine was a standout, as well as scoring a late goal.
What if we celebrated all of the achievements big and small, and weeded out those hell-bent on bringing down a game that is doing a hell of a lot right?
A good performance from Michael Ruhs, scoring twice to beat Macarthur and doubling his season goal tally in the process.
