Position: Goalkeeper
Born: 14.10.77
Club: Austria Vienna

The Melbourne-born Joe Didulica travels to Germany - just as he did to Portugal for the European Championship two years ago - as the third-choice Croatian goalkeeper behind the more recognised Tomislav Butina and Stipe Pletikosa.

Having been included in Australia squads but failing to win an international caps, the former Olympian decided to play for his parents' country of birth and was handed his debut by former national coach Otto Baric against Macedonia in April 2004.

But the presence of Butina and Pletikosa means his caps tally remains well short of double figures some two years later.

A Dutch title winner and Champions League competitor with Ajax, injuries ended his spell in the Eredivisie but he has shown his class in the Austrian Bundesliga, earning the nickname 'The Rock' for his authoritative performances for Austria Vienna.
