What was Mark Viduka's original first name?

 

[GBT]

Leeds City.

Formed in 1904 and changed to Leeds United in 1919 when Leeds City was disbanded due to crowd troubles.

Sorry to butt in. Leeds City were founded in 1904 and played at Elland Road. But they were thrown out of the league for continual financial irregularities, which began before WW1. Leeds United AFC were formed in 1919 and admitted to the FL in 1920. In reality, they are a different club.

Since no one knew, It was Marko

I remember reading it somewhere, his manager asked him to change his name to Mark when he was moving from Zagreb in Croatia, to Celtic (i think, well along those lines)
