Ex-Australian international Mark Vidukaand current Ballon D'Or holder and Croatia captain Luka Modric are cousins. Now, we're well aware that those two countries are very far away from one another, but hear us out. Viduka is of Croatian descent, with his father Joe moving to Australia from Yugoslavia in the 1960s
Did anyone know this -
Is it true?

No
 
I knew Viduka has dual Croat-Australian nationality, as for the other part I had no idea.

I remember the first time I saw Modric play, against England in some qualifier or other - he literally ran the show and the England players were made to look decidedly sub-standard. Moved to Spurs not long after that IIRC.
 
I saw him interviewed after his retirement. He lives back in Oz and talked about all the clubs he played for including Boro, and also mentioned he was cousins with him.
