Personal Life Highlight 

He is known as 'Big Dukes' in Australia.

Viduka and his Croatian wife Ivana have three sons together

Joseph (born 2002), Lucas (born September 2006), and Oliver (born May 2008).

He had a song written about him by English singer/songwriter and Middlesbrough fan Alistair Griffin (who also previously co-wrote the football song recorded by Terry Venables). 

The song lyrics were written to the tune of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate embraced the tune as a way of raising money for his chosen charity,Macmillan Cancer Support. Leonard Cohen has now given permission for the song to be released as a charity download single.

Viduka is a fan of Australian rules football and supports Collingwood Football Club.
