'''''An Inspector Calls''''' is a play written by English [[dramatist]] [[J. B. Priestley]], first performed in the [[Soviet Union]] in 1945,<ref>{{cite web|title=An Inspector Calls - Context and Political Views|url=http://www.oxnotes.com/an-inspector-calls-context-and-political-views.html|website=OxNotes – English Literature Notes|publisher=OxNotes.com|location=England}}</ref> and first performed in English at the [[Old Vic]] the following year.<ref>[https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/j-b-priestleys-scrapbook-containing-programmes-and-reviews-for-an-inspector-calls J B Priestley's scrapbook containing programmes and reviews for ''An Inspector Calls''- [[British Library]] Online Collection]</ref> It is one of Priestley's best-known works for the stage and is considered{{citation needed|date=June 2019}} to be one of the classics of mid-20th century English theatre. The play's success and reputation have been boosted by a successful revival by English director [[Stephen Daldry]] for the [[Royal National Theatre|National Theatre]] in 1992<ref>{{cite book|last=Stringer|first=Jenny|title=The Oxford companion to twentieth-century literature in English|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford, England|year=1996|page=330|isbn=978-0-19-212271-1|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780192122711}}</ref> and a tour of the UK in 2011–2012. |

===Melbourne Knights=== |
|||
==Synopsis== |
|||
In 1993, Viduka started his professional football career in Australia for Croatian-based club [[Melbourne Knights FC|Melbourne Knights]] (which up until the 1993 season was known as Melbourne Croatia) and became an Australian international in June of the following year. In his two seasons with the Knights, he was top goal scorer in the [[National Soccer League]] (NSL) and was twice awarded the [[Johnny Warren Medal]] for NSL Best Player of the Year<ref>[http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/NSLawards.html Player Of The Year Awards – OzFootball], accessed 8 July 2006 {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060427114512/http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/NSL/NSLawards.html|date=27 April 2006}}</ref> in [[National Soccer League 1993-94|1993–94]] and [[National Soccer League 1994-95|1994–95]]. His time at Melbourne Knights included one NSL title in the 1994–95 season. The grandstand at [[Mansion Stadium|Knights' Stadium]], home of the Knights, was renamed the ''"Mark Viduka Stand"'' in his honour and paid for with his transfer money.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.smh.com.au/sport/soccer/former-socceroo-captain-mark-viduka-will-never-forget-his-roots-20150619-ghs5c1.html|title=Former Socceroo captain Mark Viduka will never forget his roots|work=Sydney Morning Herald|access-date=2019-06-19|language=en}}</ref> |

At the Birlings' home in the industrial town of Brumley, Arthur Birling{{spnd}}a wealthy factory owner and local politician{{spnd}}celebrates his daughter Sheila's engagement to a rival magnate's son, Gerald Croft. Also in attendance are Arthur's wife Sybil and their son Eric (whose drinking problem the family discreetly ignores). Following dinner, Arthur lectures them on the importance of self-reliance and looking after one's own, and talks of the bright future that awaits them (which, he hopes, will include a place for himself on the [[honours list]]). |
|||
===Dinamo Zagreb=== |
|||
The evening is interrupted by a man calling himself Inspector Goole, who is investigating the suicide of Eva Smith. Her diary, the Inspector explains, named members of the Birling family. Goole produces a photograph of Eva and shows it to Arthur, who acknowledges that she worked in one of his mills. He admits that he dismissed her from Birling and Company some months ago for her involvement in an abortive workers' strike, but denies responsibility for her death. |
|||
In 1995, Viduka moved to Croatia to play with [[GNK Dinamo Zagreb|Croatia Zagreb]] (now Dinamo Zagreb). He spent three-and-a-half seasons with the club, helping it to win three [[Double (association football)|doubles]] in Croatia between 1996 and 1998. He was also part of the Croatia Zagreb team that reached the third round of the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in [[1997–98 UEFA Cup|1997]] and went on to make his [[UEFA Champions League]] group stage debut with the club a year later. He won the Best Foreigner Footballer Award in the [[Croatian First Football League|Croatian League]] in his time at Zagreb.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.socceroos.com.au/news/mark-viduka-interview | title=Mark Viduka Interview | publisher=Socceroos.com | date=3 May 2000 | accessdate=13 May 2019}}</ref> |
|||
===Celtic=== |
|||
After prompting from Goole, Sheila admits to recognising Eva too. She had contrived to have her fired from her department store job over an imagined slight. Her real motivation, Sheila confesses, was the jealousy and spite she felt towards the younger, prettier woman. |
|||
[[Celtic F.C.|Celtic]] bought Viduka in December 1998 for [[Pound sterling|£]]3.5 million. In the same month as his signing, Celtic announced that Viduka had quit the club without kicking a ball for them, citing stress as his reason.<ref>{{cite news|title=Viduka rejected Celtic|work=[[BBC Sport]]|publisher=bbc.co.uk|date=10 July 2004|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/3882507.stm|accessdate=6 May 2008|quote=Viduka enjoyed a successful spell at Parkhead, despite a rocky start which saw him walk out four days after signing due to stress.}}</ref> |
|||
A week later, Croatia Zagreb complained that it had not received the agreed fee for the player. These issues were eventually resolved and Viduka made his first appearance in a Celtic shirt on 16 February 1999, scoring for the under-21 team as an over-age player in a 4–2 victory against [[Motherwell F.C.|Motherwell]]. After making his first team debut against [[Dundee United F.C.|Dundee United]] on 27 February 1999,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sportinglife.com/football/scottishpremier/celtic/reports/story_get.cgi?STORY_NAME=soccer/99/02/27/SOCCER_Celtic_Nightlead.html&TEAMHD=celtic&DIV=scotsprem&TEAM=CELTIC&RH=Celtic&PREV_SEASON=1997|title=Celtic 2 Dundee United 1|publisher=Sporting Life|date=27 February 1999|accessdate=21 August 2010}}</ref> his first goals for the club came when he scored a brace against [[Greenock Morton F.C.|Greenock Morton]] in the [[Scottish Cup]] on 8 March 1999.<ref>{{cite news |
|||
At the mention of Eva's alias "Daisy Renton", Gerald starts. He admits to having met a woman by that name in the Palace Bar, whom he gave money and arranged to see again. Goole reveals that Gerald had installed Eva as his mistress, becoming "the most important person in her life", before abruptly cutting her off. Arthur and Sybil are horrified, and Sheila returns her engagement ring. |

He was regarded as a skilled player, with [[Josip Šimunić]] noting his ability to hold the ball up well and bring other players into the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theroar.com.au/2010/12/09/viduka-to-be-honoured-with-alex-tobin-medal/|title=Viduka to be honoured with Alex Tobin medal|date=9 December 2010|website=Theroar.com.au|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |
|||
In February 2000, lower league team [[Inverness Caledonian Thistle]] defeated Celtic in a shock upset in the third round of the [[Scottish Cup]]. During half time Viduka reportedly threw his boots in the bin and refused to play in the second half after an altercation with assistant coach, [[Eric Black]]. The match ended 3-1 with Celtic fans in uproar.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thecelticwiki.com/page/2000-02-08:+Celtic+1-3+Inverness+Caledonian+Thistle,+Scottish+Cup|title=2000-02-08: Celtic 1-3 Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Scottish Cup - The Celtic Wiki|website=Thecelticwiki.com|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |
|||
Goole next turns his sight on Sybil, whom he identifies as the head of a women's charity to which Eva, pregnant and destitute, had turned for help. Sybil, however, convinced the committee to deny her application for financial aid. Despite vigorous cross-examination from Goole, Sybil denies any wrongdoing. Goole then plays his final card, making Sybil lay the blame at the feet of the "drunken young man" who got Eva pregnant. Eric then enters, and after brief questioning from Goole, breaks down and admits to being responsible for the pregnancy, having forced himself on Eva after a drinking spree at the Palace Bar. He had taken funds from his father's business in order to support her and the child, but she refused the stolen money. Arthur and Sybil are outraged by Eric's actions, and the evening dissolves into angry recriminations. |
|||
In March 2000, Viduka assisted Celtic to win Scotland's second most prestigious football knockout competition the [[1999-2000 Scottish League Cup]]. He left after his first full season at the club. |
|||
Goole's questioning reveals that each member of the family had contributed to Eva's despondency and suicide. He reminds the Birlings that actions have consequences and that all people are intertwined in one society. As Goole leaves he warns that "If men will not learn that lesson, then they will be taught it in fire and blood and anguish" – an allusion to [[World War I|the impending war]]. |
|||
===Leeds United=== |
|||
Gerald returns, telling the family that there may be no "Inspector Goole" on the police force. Arthur makes a call to the chief constable, who confirms this. Learning from a second call to the infirmary that no recent cases of suicide have been reported, the family surmise that the Inspector was a fraud and his story fictitious. Gerald and the elder Birlings celebrate, but the younger Birlings still realise the error of their ways, and promise to change. |
|||
[[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]] manager [[David O'Leary]] signed Viduka just before the [[2000–01 in English football|2000–01 season]] for £6 million. At Leeds, he was expected to line up in a three-pronged attack alongside the previous season's top scorer [[Michael Bridges]] and Australia teammate [[Harry Kewell]], but injuries to those two saw him form a partnership with [[Alan Smith (footballer, born 1980)|Alan Smith]] in Leeds' Champions League matches, while [[Robbie Keane]] – signed on loan from [[Inter Milan]] as cover for Bridges – also benefited in their [[Premier League]] matches together in the second half of the season. In his first season, Viduka scored 22 goals, including all four in a memorable 4–3 win over [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] at [[Elland Road]]. He signed a five-year deal in the summer of 2001 and would star in both domestic competitions and Europe, with Leeds finishing in the country's top four in 2000–01, and fifth in 2001–02. |
|||
In the [[2002–03 in English football|2002–03 campaign]], Viduka scored another 22 goals, including a hat-trick in a 6–1 win at [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]]<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/2895709.stm | work=BBC News | title=Leeds thrash Charlton | date=5 April 2003}}</ref> and the winner in a 3–2 victory at [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] on the penultimate day of the season that effectively saved United from relegation. His hat-trick in the Charlton game is the most recent hat-trick to date by a Leeds United player in the Premier League.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.leedsunited-mad.co.uk/feat/edy3/hattrick_heroes_286630/index.shtml|title=Hat-Trick Heroes - LeedsUtdMAD|website=Leedsunited-mad.co.uk|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |
|||
The play ends with a telephone call, taken by Arthur, who reports that a young woman has died (a suspected case of suicide), and that the police are on their way to question them. Goole's true identity is left unexplained, but it is clear that the family's confessions over the course of the evening have all been true, and that public disgrace will soon befall them. |
|||
However, the club's financial crisis continued, and resulted in the sale of key players including Harry Kewell and Robbie Keane. In the 2003–04 season, Viduka was again top scorer at Leeds, finishing the season strongly as was the case in the previous season, as interim manager [[Eddie Gray (footballer, born 1948)|Eddie Gray]] attempted to steer the club away from the Premier League trap door following the departure of [[Peter Reid]] in November after eight months as manager. |
|||
== Characters == |
|||
=== Inspector Goole === |
|||
The mysterious "Inspector Goole" claims to have seen Eva Smith's dead body earlier that day, and to have been given "a duty" to investigate her death and the Birlings' involvement in it. He seems to be familiar with every detail of the case already, interrogating the family solely to reveal their guilt rather than to discover unknown information. Both during and after Goole's visit the Birlings question his credentials, and a phone call to the local police station reveals there is no one by his name on the force. Many critics and audiences have interpreted Goole's role as that of an "avenging angel" because of his supernatural omniscience and prophetic final warning, and even because of his name, which is a homophone for the word "[[Wikt:ghoul|ghoul]]". It is suggested in the final scene that a quite real investigation will follow Goole's, and his purpose has been to warn the family in advance and encourage them to accept responsibility for their wrongdoing. |
|||
However, during his final appearance in the jersey, Leeds were relegated in a 4–1 loss to [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]] at [[Reebok Stadium]]. After scoring a penalty, Viduka was sent off following two yellow cards. He was sold to [[Middlesbrough F.C.|Middlesbrough]] in the summer of 2004 as United's financial difficulties deepened.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} |
|||
=== Eva Smith/Daisy Renton/Sarah === |
|||
Eva, Daisy or Sarah is the unseen working-class woman who Goole claims took her own life in her mid twenties while pregnant with Eric Birling's baby, having been mistreated by each member of the family. She has no family of her own, it is explained, and must work for a living. Her beauty is commented on by all the characters, and attracts both Gerald and Eric's affection, as well as Sheila's jealousy. The female Birlings do not seem to believe Eva knows her place, and Sybil describes her as "impertinent" rather than meek and grateful as she should be towards her social superiors. |
|||
===Middlesbrough=== |
|||
The audience is invited to dwell on Eva's suffering at the hands of a cruel and uncaring upper class, which has exploited, abused, and ravaged her, before washing its hands of her. At the end of the play, Gerald suggests that Eva Smith may not have been the same person but rather a [[Gestalt psychology|collective personification]] of all the different working-class women that the family had exploited, invented by Goole to make the family feel guilty. Yet the final phone call leaves open the possibility that Eva really did exist after all. |
|||
Viduka's debut season at Middlesbrough was initially impressive, albeit frustrated by injuries. In the [[2005–06 in English football|2005–06 season]], however, Viduka was in sensational form in all competitions for Middlesbrough, reaching double figures early on in the season. He also played an important part in spearheading Middlesbrough's campaign in the [[2005–06 UEFA Cup]] where the club twice had to score four goals in a game to proceed. Middlesbrough eventually lost in the [[2006 UEFA Cup Final|final]] to [[Sevilla FC|Sevilla]] on 10 May 2006. |
|||
With his contract due to expire at the end of the [[2006–07 in English football|2006–07 season]], Middlesbrough manager [[Gareth Southgate]] expressed his interest in retaining Viduka. In August 2006, he was awarded the number 9 shirt at Middlesbrough, his preferred number at all his previous clubs. Following another successful season in which he scored 19 goals, Viduka attracted interest from other clubs who were hoping to sign him on a free transfer as he became out-of-contract. Southgate reiterated his wish to retain Viduka's services and revealed he would offer him a new contract. Viduka joined [[North East England|north-east]] rivals [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] on a [[Free transfer (football)|free transfer]] on 7 June 2007.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/n/newcastle_united/6729863.stm|title=Viduka makes switch to Newcastle|accessdate=17 January 2018|date=7 June 2007|publisher=bbc.co.uk|work=[[BBC Sport]]}}</ref> |
|||
===Arthur Birling === |
|||
Arthur Birling is described as "a heavy-looking, rather [[wikt:portentous|portentous]] man in his middle fifties". He represents the capitalist ruling class, repeatedly describing himself with pride as a "hard-headed businessman", and is arguably the main subject of Priestley's social critique. Dominant, arrogant, self-centred, and morally blind, he is insistent throughout about his lack of responsibility for Eva's death; he fired her in order to quell dissent among his workforce and keep labour costs low, which he says is standard business practice. He remains unaffected by the details of the suicide, and his own concerns appear to be avoiding scandal, insisting that Eric account for the company money he stole, and convincing Sheila to reconsider her break with Gerald (so as to secure a promised Croft-Birling merger). |
|||
=== |
===Newcastle United=== |
||
[[File:Mark Viduka in pink scarf.JPG|thumb|170px|Viduka warming up for Newcastle]] |
|||
Sybil Birling, "a rather cold woman" of about fifty, is Arthur's wife. As the leader of a charitable organisation, she assumes a social and moral superiority over Inspector Goole, whose questioning style she frequently refers to as "impertinent" and "offensive". Like her husband, she refuses to accept responsibility for the death of Eva Smith, and seems more concerned with maintaining the family's reputation, even going so far as to lie and deny that she recognizes the girl's picture. She derides women like Eva as immoral, dishonest, and greedy. |
|||
In signing for Newcastle, Viduka became manager [[Sam Allardyce]]'s first signing at the club. His contract was for two years, with the option of a third year. He made his Newcastle debut in a Premier League match at Bolton on 11 August and scored his first goal on 26 August against his former club Middlesbrough. |
|||
On 23 September, he scored a further two goals against [[West Ham United F.C.|West Ham United]] to bring his tally up to three for Newcastle. On 23 December, he again scored two goals against [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]]. After an injury lay off over the new year, Viduka was brought back into the side by new manager [[Kevin Keegan]], where he played as part of a 4–3–3 formation along with [[Michael Owen]] and [[Obafemi Martins]]. This new formation brought about a change of fortune for Newcastle as the three strikers rescued them from a relegation battle, with Viduka scoring two more goals over the rest of the season and setting up others for Martins and Owen before picking up an [[Achilles' heel]] injury before the last game of the season. |
|||
=== Sheila Birling === |
|||
Sheila begins as a naive and self-centred young woman, but becomes the most sympathetic member of the Birling family over the course of the play, showing remorse for her part in Eva's downfall and encouraging her family to do the same. By the play's end her social conscience has been awakened and she has a new awareness of her responsibilities to others. She represents the younger generation's break from the selfish behaviour of its forebears. |
|||
Viduka made his return to the first team after six months out injured at former club Middlesbrough, coming on for Martins as a substitute on 29 November 2008. This was a great relief for manager [[Joe Kinnear]], who stated that he had previously feared the Australian's career might have been prematurely ended by his injury woes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4596801,00.html|title=Kinnear feared for Viduka|website=Skysports.com|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> Later, Kinnear suggested to reporters that Viduka might call time on his career at the end of the [[2008–09 Newcastle United F.C. season|2008–09 season]]. Viduka, however, later expressed his desire to continue playing past this season after acquiring a groin injury in late December.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_4682429,00.html|title=Viduka aims to play on|website=Skysports.com|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> After returning from injury, he was immediately used by newly appointed coach [[Alan Shearer]] in an attempt to prevent the team's relegation. After playing a [[man of the match]] performance in the 3–1 victory against his former team Middlesbrough, Mark appeared to have scored his first goal of the season against [[Fulham F.C.|Fulham]]. Match referee [[Howard Webb]], however, ruled that [[Kevin Nolan]] impeded goalkeeper [[Mark Schwarzer]] disallowing the goal. He was released following Newcastle's relegation. |

Eric is presented as a "Jack-the-Lad" character with a drinking habit, which led to him getting Eva pregnant. He is distanced from the rest of the family and feels he cannot talk to them about his problems. With his sister, he repents of and accepts responsibility for the way he treated Eva. |

==International career== |

Viduka began his international career in a friendly series against [[South Africa]] at the age of 18 in June 1994. The first game was played in Adelaide and the second game was played in Sydney. Australia won both games 1-0.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com.au/feature/how-dukes-made-his-mark-255929/page4|title=How Dukes Made His Mark|website=FourFourTwo.com.au|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> He scored his first international goal in October 1997 in the 23rd minute of a friendly game against [[Tunisia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/tunisia-v-australia-01-october-1997-264477/|title=Tunisia v Australia, 01 October 1997|website=11v11.com|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |
|||
The son of Sir George and Lady Croft of Crofts Limited, a competitor of Birling and Company, he is at the Birling residence to celebrate his recent engagement to Sheila. Gerald's revealed affair with Eva puts an end to the relationship, though Sheila commends him for his truthfulness and for his initial compassion towards the girl. Gerald believes that Goole is not a police inspector, that the family may not all be referring to the same woman, and that there may not be a body. Initially he appears to be correct, and does not think the Birlings have anything to feel ashamed of or worry about. He seems excited at the prospect of unmasking the "false" Inspector and seems almost desperate for others to believe him. |
|||
In 1996, Viduka joined the [[Olyroos]] as they competed in the [[1996 Summer Olympics]]. In Australia's first group game they lost to France 2-0. In their second group match they defeated Saudi Arabia 2-1. Viduka scored Australia's second goal in the 63rd minute with a clever back flick past the goalkeeper. In Australia's final group game Viduka made a contribution early in the game with an assist to [[Aurelio Vidmar]] in the 3rd minute. Despite Australia's early 0-2 lead, Spain made a spirited comeback and won 3-2. Due to the losses to France and Spain the Olyroos did not progress further in the tournament.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ozfootball.net/ark/Olympics/1996.html|title=Olyroos 1996 Matches|website=Ozfootball.net|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |

He scored Australia's opening goal in a 3-1 win over [[Mexico]] in Australia's first group game. However, in the final against [[Brazil]] he was sent off in the 24th minute after receiving a red card.

==Criticism and interpretation== |
|||
Highly successful after its first and subsequent London productions, the play is now considered one of Priestley's greatest works, and has been subject to a variety of critical interpretations. |
|||
In 1999, Viduka featured in a friendly against Brazil. The game was played at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]] and concluded with a 2-2 draw. Viduka assisted [[Paul Agostino]] with the first goal of the game.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gettyimages.fi/detail/news-photo/australias-mark-viduka-sets-up-the-socceroos-first-goal-news-photo/540002421?#australias-mark-viduka-sets-up-the-socceroos-first-goal-against-17-picture-id540002421|title=Australia's Mark Viduka sets up the Socceroos' first goal against Brazil, 17 Nov|publisher=[[Getty Images]]|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> He also appeared in friendly matches against [[Hungary]] and [[Czech Republic]] in 2000.

After the new wave of social realist theatre in the 1950s and 1960s, the play fell out of fashion, and was dismissed as an example of outdated [[bourgeois]] [[drawing room play|"drawing room" dramas]], and became a staple of regional repertory theatre. Following several successful revivals (including [[Stephen Daldry]]'s 1992 production for the [[Royal National Theatre|National Theatre]]), the play was "rediscovered" and hailed as a damning social criticism of capitalism and middle-class hypocrisy in the manner of the social realist dramas of Shaw and Ibsen. It has been read as a parable about the destruction of Victorian social values and the disintegration of pre-World War I English society, and Goole's final speech has been interpreted variously as a quasi-Christian vision of hell and judgement, and as a socialist manifesto. |
|||
In 2003, Viduka scored his third international goal in a friendly against Ireland. Australia would go on to lose the match 2-1.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.11v11.com/matches/republic-of-ireland-v-australia-19-august-2003-251747/|title=Republic of Ireland v Australia, 19 August 2003|website=11v11.com|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |
|||
The struggle between the embattled patriarch Arthur Birling and Inspector Goole has been interpreted by many critics as a symbolic confrontation between capitalism and socialism, and arguably demonstrates Priestley's socialist political criticism of the perceived-selfishness and moral hypocrisy of middle-class capitalist society. While no single member of the Birling family is solely responsible for Eva's death, together they function as a hermetic class system that exploits neglected, vulnerable women, with each example of exploitation leading collectively to Eva's social exclusion, despair and suicide. The play also arguably acts as a critique of Victorian-era notions of middle-class philanthropy towards the poor, which is based on presumptions of the charity-givers' social superiority and severe moral judgement towards the "deserving poor". The romantic idea of gentlemanly chivalry towards "fallen women" is also debunked as being based on male lust and sexual exploitation of the weak by the powerful. In Goole's final speech, Eva Smith is referred to as a representative for millions of other vulnerable working-class people, and can be read as a call to action for English society to take more responsibility for working-class people, prefiguring the development of the post-World War II [[welfare state]]. |
|||
Viduka began captaining the [[Australia national soccer team|Australia national team]] in September 2005 in place of the injured [[Craig Moore]], the regular captain. His first game as captain was in a [[World Cup Qualifier]] against [[Solomon Islands]] in Sydney, in which Australia won 7-0. He scored 2 goals on the occasion including a spectacular bicycle-kick goal. Viduka would go on to score a third goal only to be denied a hat-trick after being ruled offside. It was his first time playing against a team from the Oceana region.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-09-03/viduka-stars-in-easy-win-for-socceroos/2096106|title=Viduka stars in easy win for Socceroos|date=3 September 2005|website=Abc.net.au|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> In October 2005, he continued his captaincy when he led Australia to a 5-0 crushing of [[Jamaica]] at Craven Cottage in a friendly game. In the 47th minute of the game [[Archie Thompson]] crossed to Viduka, who controlled the ball, thought about appealing for handball but then had time to crash the ball into the net.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/soccer/australia-crushes-jamaica/2005/10/10/1128796413238.html|title=Australia crushes Jamaica - Soccer - Sport|website=Theage.com.au|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |

Viduka thrived under [[Guus Hiddink]]'s tenure as coach of the national squad and led Australia as it qualified for the [[2006 FIFA World Cup]] in Germany over a [[2006 FIFA World Cup qualification (play-off CONMEBOL-OFC)|two-leg qualifier against Uruguay]]. In the second leg, during the first half a swift flick kick from Viduka found [[Harry Kewell]] inside the box. Kewell scuffed his shot but the ball bounced kindly to [[Mark Bresciano]] who went on to score the goal that forced the Qualifier to go to a penalty shoot out.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.socceroos.com.au/article/greatest-socceroos-moments-in-australia---bresciano-stuns/9byuxj8gwgrh11c7cdz0gqye7|title=Greatest Socceroos moments in Australia – Bresciano stuns Uruguay|website=Socceroos|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> Viduka would go on to miss his penalty, however Australia went on to win the shootout anyway.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2005-11-16/socceroos-qualify-for-world-cup/742402|title=Socceroos qualify for World Cup|date=16 November 2005|website=Abc.net.au|accessdate=17 January 2018}}</ref> |

In a lead up to the World Cup, Viduka captained Australia to friendly matches against the [[Netherlands]] and [[Greece]]. The Greece game was played at the [[Melbourne Cricket Ground]].

He then led Australia into the second round, where they lost their round of 16 match to [[Italy national football team|Italy]]. Although a regular scorer in the Premier League, Viduka has struggled to score any significant goals for the ''Socceroos'', and the 2006 World Cup was no different. |

In 1986 [[Richard Wilson (Scottish actor)|Richard Wilson]] directed a production at the [[Royal Exchange, Manchester]] with Geraldine Alexander as Sheila Birling, [[Hugh Grant]] as Eric Birling and [[Graeme Garden]] as Inspector Goole. |

Viduka considered retiring from international competition after the 2006 World Cup, citing increasing family commitments as the primary reason. In September 2006, however, he confirmed that he would continue playing for Australia and intended to compete in the 2007 [[Asian Cup]].<ref> |

A revival of the play by British director [[Stephen Daldry]] opened at the [[Royal National Theatre|National Theatre]]'s [[Lyttelton Theatre]] in September 1992. Daldry's concept was to reference two eras: the 1945 post-war era, when the play was written, and the ostensible historical setting for the work in pre-war 1912; this emphasised the way the character Goole was observing, and deploring, the Birling family's behaviour from Priestley's own cultural viewpoint.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Woodeson|first1=Nicholas|authorlink=Nicholas Woodeson|title=Revisiting Inspector Calls|url=http://www.whatsonstage.com/west-end-theatre/news/09-2009/nicholas-woodeson-on-revisiting-inspector-calls_15779.html|website=WhatsOnStage.com|accessdate=7 February 2018}}</ref><ref name=lyn/> It won the [[Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival|Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play]], and was widely praised for making the work involving and politically relevant for a modern audience. The production is often credited with single-handedly rediscovering Priestley's works and "rescuing" him from the reputation of being obsolete and class-bound, although the production had some detractors, including [[Sheridan Morley]]<ref>{{cite news|last1=Morley|first1=Sheridan|title=Stop messing about|url=http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/26th-september-1992/53/theatre|accessdate=4 October 2015|work=[[The Spectator]]|date=25 September 1992|page=53}}</ref> who regarded it as a gimmicky travesty of the author's patent intentions. The success of the production since 1992 has led to a critical reappraisal of Priestley as a politically engaged playwright who offered a sustained critique of the hypocrisy of English society. A Broadway transfer of the production starring [[Philip Bosco]] opened at the Royale Theatre (now the [[Bernard Jacobs Theatre]]) on 27 April 1994 and played 454 performances.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-production/an-inspector-calls-4605|title=An Inspector Calls|website=Internet Broadway Database|accessdate=26 October 2016}}</ref> Another production opened on 25 October 1995 at the Garrick Theatre and ran for six years until its transfer to the Playhouse Theatre in 2001.

Produced by PW Productions, Stephen Daldry's revival of An Inspector Calls first opened at the National Theatre in 1992 and it was a ground-breaking success which has since become the longest running revival of the play, seen by around 3 million theatregoers. It has since returned to the west end in 2016 where it was revived again at the national theatre where the play first began. Daldry's concept was to reference two eras: the 1945 post-war era, when the play was written, and the ostensible historical setting for the work in pre-war 1912; this emphasised the way the character Goole was observing, and deploring, the Birling family's behaviour from Priestley's own cultural viewpoint. |

In the original revival in 1992 the set consisted of an Edwardian House on stilts, A painted sky cyclorama, which stretches out across the stage, and a double raked cobbled floor. However, the most evocative element of the set was the rain. It was said to have been “so successful that for a couple of years after the initial production we received calls from designers and production managers from around the world asking how we did it.” |

In 1965, ''An Inspector Calls'' was adapted into a [[Bengali language|Bengali]] film entitled ''[[Thana Theke Aschi]]'', based on a Bengali version of the original play. The character of [[Inspector Goole]] was played by the Bengali matinee idol [[Uttam Kumar]], the character being renamed "Sub-Inspector Tinkari Halder". The film went on to be a huge commercial hit at and is generally regarded as one of the era's best Bengali films. A 2004 [[Hindi]] film based on the same play, ''Sau Jhooth Ek Sach'' (''The Uninvited'') starred [[Mammootty]] as the Inspector and was also a critical success (a 2010 remake was however panned). |

Mark Anthony Viduka (/vɪˈduːkə/ vih-DOOK-ə; born 9 October 1975)[2][3][4][5][6] is an Australian retired footballer who played as a centre forward. He captained the Australia national team to the Round of 16 at the 2006 FIFA World Cup which remains their best ever performance to date. His four goals in the UEFA Champions League are the most scored by any Australian player.
Club career
 | This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2018) |
Melbourne Knights
In 1993, Viduka started his professional football career in Australia for Croatian-based club Melbourne Knights (which up until the 1993 season was known as Melbourne Croatia) and became an Australian international in June of the following year. In his two seasons with the Knights, he was top goal scorer in the National Soccer League (NSL) and was twice awarded the Johnny Warren Medal for NSL Best Player of the Year[7] in 1993–94 and 1994–95. His time at Melbourne Knights included one NSL title in the 1994–95 season. The grandstand at Knights' Stadium, home of the Knights, was renamed the "Mark Viduka Stand" in his honour and paid for with his transfer money.[8]
Dinamo Zagreb
In 1995, Viduka moved to Croatia to play with Croatia Zagreb (now Dinamo Zagreb). He spent three-and-a-half seasons with the club, helping it to win three doubles in Croatia between 1996 and 1998. He was also part of the Croatia Zagreb team that reached the third round of the UEFA Cup in 1997 and went on to make his UEFA Champions League group stage debut with the club a year later. He won the Best Foreigner Footballer Award in the Croatian League in his time at Zagreb.[9]
Celtic
Celtic bought Viduka in December 1998 for £3.5 million. In the same month as his signing, Celtic announced that Viduka had quit the club without kicking a ball for them, citing stress as his reason.[10]
A week later, Croatia Zagreb complained that it had not received the agreed fee for the player. These issues were eventually resolved and Viduka made his first appearance in a Celtic shirt on 16 February 1999, scoring for the under-21 team as an over-age player in a 4–2 victory against Motherwell. After making his first team debut against Dundee United on 27 February 1999,[11] his first goals for the club came when he scored a brace against Greenock Morton in the Scottish Cup on 8 March 1999.[12] He was voted Scottish Player of the Year for 1999–2000 after scoring 27 goals in his first full season at Celtic Park. He was regarded as a skilled player, with Josip Šimunić noting his ability to hold the ball up well and bring other players into the game.[13]
In February 2000, lower league team Inverness Caledonian Thistle defeated Celtic in a shock upset in the third round of the Scottish Cup. During half time Viduka reportedly threw his boots in the bin and refused to play in the second half after an altercation with assistant coach, Eric Black. The match ended 3-1 with Celtic fans in uproar.[14]
In March 2000, Viduka assisted Celtic to win Scotland's second most prestigious football knockout competition the 1999-2000 Scottish League Cup. He left after his first full season at the club.
Leeds United
Leeds United manager David O'Leary signed Viduka just before the 2000–01 season for £6 million. At Leeds, he was expected to line up in a three-pronged attack alongside the previous season's top scorer Michael Bridges and Australia teammate Harry Kewell, but injuries to those two saw him form a partnership with Alan Smith in Leeds' Champions League matches, while Robbie Keane – signed on loan from Inter Milan as cover for Bridges – also benefited in their Premier League matches together in the second half of the season. In his first season, Viduka scored 22 goals, including all four in a memorable 4–3 win over Liverpool at Elland Road. He signed a five-year deal in the summer of 2001 and would star in both domestic competitions and Europe, with Leeds finishing in the country's top four in 2000–01, and fifth in 2001–02.
In the 2002–03 campaign, Viduka scored another 22 goals, including a hat-trick in a 6–1 win at Charlton Athletic[15] and the winner in a 3–2 victory at Arsenal on the penultimate day of the season that effectively saved United from relegation. His hat-trick in the Charlton game is the most recent hat-trick to date by a Leeds United player in the Premier League.[16]
However, the club's financial crisis continued, and resulted in the sale of key players including Harry Kewell and Robbie Keane. In the 2003–04 season, Viduka was again top scorer at Leeds, finishing the season strongly as was the case in the previous season, as interim manager Eddie Gray attempted to steer the club away from the Premier League trap door following the departure of Peter Reid in November after eight months as manager.
However, during his final appearance in the jersey, Leeds were relegated in a 4–1 loss to Bolton Wanderers at Reebok Stadium. After scoring a penalty, Viduka was sent off following two yellow cards. He was sold to Middlesbrough in the summer of 2004 as United's financial difficulties deepened.[citation needed]
Middlesbrough
Viduka's debut season at Middlesbrough was initially impressive, albeit frustrated by injuries. In the 2005–06 season, however, Viduka was in sensational form in all competitions for Middlesbrough, reaching double figures early on in the season. He also played an important part in spearheading Middlesbrough's campaign in the 2005–06 UEFA Cup where the club twice had to score four goals in a game to proceed. Middlesbrough eventually lost in the final to Sevilla on 10 May 2006.
With his contract due to expire at the end of the 2006–07 season, Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate expressed his interest in retaining Viduka. In August 2006, he was awarded the number 9 shirt at Middlesbrough, his preferred number at all his previous clubs. Following another successful season in which he scored 19 goals, Viduka attracted interest from other clubs who were hoping to sign him on a free transfer as he became out-of-contract. Southgate reiterated his wish to retain Viduka's services and revealed he would offer him a new contract. Viduka joined north-east rivals Newcastle United on a free transfer on 7 June 2007.[17]
Newcastle United
In signing for Newcastle, Viduka became manager Sam Allardyce's first signing at the club. His contract was for two years, with the option of a third year. He made his Newcastle debut in a Premier League match at Bolton on 11 August and scored his first goal on 26 August against his former club Middlesbrough.
On 23 September, he scored a further two goals against West Ham United to bring his tally up to three for Newcastle. On 23 December, he again scored two goals against Derby County. After an injury lay off over the new year, Viduka was brought back into the side by new manager Kevin Keegan, where he played as part of a 4–3–3 formation along with Michael Owen and Obafemi Martins. This new formation brought about a change of fortune for Newcastle as the three strikers rescued them from a relegation battle, with Viduka scoring two more goals over the rest of the season and setting up others for Martins and Owen before picking up an Achilles' heel injury before the last game of the season.
Viduka made his return to the first team after six months out injured at former club Middlesbrough, coming on for Martins as a substitute on 29 November 2008. This was a great relief for manager Joe Kinnear, who stated that he had previously feared the Australian's career might have been prematurely ended by his injury woes.[18] Later, Kinnear suggested to reporters that Viduka might call time on his career at the end of the 2008–09 season. Viduka, however, later expressed his desire to continue playing past this season after acquiring a groin injury in late December.[19] After returning from injury, he was immediately used by newly appointed coach Alan Shearer in an attempt to prevent the team's relegation. After playing a man of the match performance in the 3–1 victory against his former team Middlesbrough, Mark appeared to have scored his first goal of the season against Fulham. Match referee Howard Webb, however, ruled that Kevin Nolan impeded goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer disallowing the goal. He was released following Newcastle's relegation.
International career
Viduka began his international career in a friendly series against South Africa at the age of 18 in June 1994. The first game was played in Adelaide and the second game was played in Sydney. Australia won both games 1-0.[20] He scored his first international goal in October 1997 in the 23rd minute of a friendly game against Tunisia.[21]
In 1996, Viduka joined the Olyroos as they competed in the 1996 Summer Olympics. In Australia's first group game they lost to France 2-0. In their second group match they defeated Saudi Arabia 2-1. Viduka scored Australia's second goal in the 63rd minute with a clever back flick past the goalkeeper. In Australia's final group game Viduka made a contribution early in the game with an assist to Aurelio Vidmar in the 3rd minute. Despite Australia's early 0-2 lead, Spain made a spirited comeback and won 3-2. Due to the losses to France and Spain the Olyroos did not progress further in the tournament.[22]
Viduka featured in the two World Cup qualifiers against Iran in 1997. Australia failed to qualify.[23] Viduka was also a part of the Australia national soccer team that competed in the 1997 Confederations Cup. He scored Australia's opening goal in a 3-1 win over Mexico in Australia's first group game. However, in the final against Brazil he was sent off in the 24th minute after receiving a red card. Australia went on to lose the encounter 6-0.[24]
In 1999, Viduka featured in a friendly against Brazil. The game was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and concluded with a 2-2 draw. Viduka assisted Paul Agostino with the first goal of the game.[25] He also appeared in friendly matches against Hungary and Czech Republic in 2000. Defeating Hungary 3-0 and losing to Czech Republic 3-1.[26] That same here Viduka once again joined the Olyroos in the 2000 Olympic Games in his home country of Australia.[27] In 2001, he played alongside Australia as they competed against Uruguay in a two leg World Cup Qualifier. Australia lost on aggregate 3-1. This meant Viduka and Australia spent another World Cup on the sidelines.[28]
In 2003, Viduka scored his third international goal in a friendly against Ireland. Australia would go on to lose the match 2-1.[29]
Viduka began captaining the Australia national team in September 2005 in place of the injured Craig Moore, the regular captain. His first game as captain was in a World Cup Qualifier against Solomon Islands in Sydney, in which Australia won 7-0. He scored 2 goals on the occasion including a spectacular bicycle-kick goal. Viduka would go on to score a third goal only to be denied a hat-trick after being ruled offside. It was his first time playing against a team from the Oceana region.[30] In October 2005, he continued his captaincy when he led Australia to a 5-0 crushing of Jamaica at Craven Cottage in a friendly game. In the 47th minute of the game Archie Thompson crossed to Viduka, who controlled the ball, thought about appealing for handball but then had time to crash the ball into the net.[31]
Viduka thrived under Guus Hiddink's tenure as coach of the national squad and led Australia as it qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany over a two-leg qualifier against Uruguay. In the second leg, during the first half a swift flick kick from Viduka found Harry Kewell inside the box. Kewell scuffed his shot but the ball bounced kindly to Mark Bresciano who went on to score the goal that forced the Qualifier to go to a penalty shoot out.[32] Viduka would go on to miss his penalty, however Australia went on to win the shootout anyway.[33]
It was the first time in 32 years that Australia qualified to participate in the World Cup. On 21 May 2006, he was named as the Australian captain for the World Cup.[34]
In a lead up to the World Cup, Viduka captained Australia to friendly matches against the Netherlands and Greece. The Greece game was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Australia won 1-0.[35] Australia's game with the Netherlands ended with a 1-1 draw. After trailing 1-0 Australia earned a penalty in the second half. Viduka took the spot kick, only to hit the top bar. However Tim Cahill scored of the rebound.[36] Viduka also led Australia's national team to their first World Cup finals victory with a 3–1 win over Japan in June 2006, as well as guiding them through an encounter with Brazil, losing 2–0, and a controversial bout with Croatia, ending with a 2–2 draw. He then led Australia into the second round, where they lost their round of 16 match to Italy. Although a regular scorer in the Premier League, Viduka has struggled to score any significant goals for the Socceroos, and the 2006 World Cup was no different.
Viduka considered retiring from international competition after the 2006 World Cup, citing increasing family commitments as the primary reason. In September 2006, however, he confirmed that he would continue playing for Australia and intended to compete in the 2007 Asian Cup.[37] In a friendly against Singapore, a week before the start of the Asian Cup, Viduka scored two headed goals in a 3–0 victory for Australia; former Leeds teammate Harry Kewell scored the third. It was the second time he scored two goals in an international match, having previously done so against the Solomon Islands in 2005.
On Australia's first ever Asian Cup participation, Viduka captained the side and he scored their solitary goal against Iraq, a game which they ultimately lost 1–3. In the next match, he scored two goals against co-host team Thailand, defeating them 4–0; other goals scored by Michael Beauchamp and Harry Kewell and making them fall out of the remaining competition. At one stage, he led the goalscoring at the Asian Cup tournament, although his team was eliminated in the quarter-finals in a penalty shootout against Japan. Subsequent to that loss, question marks hang over whether Viduka will continue his international career.[38][39] Two years on from the 2007 Asian Cup, he was still yet to return for the Socceroos, either stating he had injuries or club commitments. He missed World Cup Qualifiers against Qatar, Bahrain and Japan, even though fully fit and asked to play by Socceroo manager Pim Verbeek. Questions were raised over his commitment to the national team, even by other members of the squad.[40] Viduka was not selected in the final squad for the 2010 World Cup, having retired from football a year previously.

Personal life
Viduka and his wife Ivana have three sons together: Joseph (born November 2002), Lucas (born September 2006) and Oliver (born May 2008).[43] His father Joe was from Croatia, from where he immigrated to Australia in the 1960s. Croatian footballer and Ballon d'Or winner Luka Modrić is his cousin.[44]
Viduka 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".[45] Middlesbrough manager Gareth Southgate embraced the tune as a way of raising money for his chosen charity, Macmillan Cancer Support. Leonard Cohen gave permission for the song to be released as a charity download single.[46] Viduka has been a member of Melbourne City FC since its inaugural season.[citation needed] He is affectionately referred to by his nicknames "V-Bomber"[47] and "Big Dukes"[48] in Australia.
