Aussie's Greatest to return? .

Australia's greatest ever player Mark Viduka looks sets to attempt to finish his career in the style a player of his ability deserved.

The Duke never played for a top side other than Celtic in Scotland, flirting with Leeds who were in the Dukes day on a roll for awhile.

Middlesboro and Newcastle; what was that all about.

So it was great to see the most talented or okay one of the most talented Aussies to reach the pinnacle, the World Cup in Germany, when let's face it we all thought he play out his career in some relegation battle up north.

And who else can allow a team to hang off him and see Tim Cahill, Mark Bresciano and Brett Emerton confidently take on the world.

If he is back, and does get to South Africa, in as good shape as a slow 34 year old can be, FIFA should increase our rankings from the current 16 to 10 based on that fact alone.

Or will a slower, older Viduka drag the team and team selection down?

Who knows but I'd love to see him in the squad, fit and ready to end his topflight career on the World's finest sporting stage.

Shame on the Aussie Frequent Flyer ACQ who might miss out as a result, but that's life innit, just ask Bruce Djite at the Olympics...er not again surely Bruce!

seems like his talent temperment never quite matched his talent.

used to love reading middlesbrough fans raging at viduka for turning into maradona 4 games a year and sleeping through the rest. what they didn`t realise was that if he could turn it on every game, he wouldn`t have been slumming it at middlesbrough. he would have been at a top club.

the current top clubs? barca, real, man u, pool (maybe), inter (maybe) ...

Viduka as good a player as he is/was only ever played to potential when there was a contract of considerable quantity involved. I beleive this is the case with the Dukes so if he makes himself available for the world cup LOOKOUT WORLD. He'll be hungry and the opposition in the group stages had better lookout. Go the DUKES realise your potential
