rdfs:comment

Striker is a comic strip and former magazine which has been featured in the tabloid newspaper The Sun since 1985, aside from two intervals between 2003 and 2005 (when it was an independent magazine) and September, 2009 to January, 2013 (when it was unpublished, apart from a nine-month run in the British magazine Nuts). It was created by Pete Nash. Nick's own playing career was ended in 2003 by a shark attack off Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. In May, 2013, with Warbury in Division 2, Nick briefly made a playing comeback at the age of 45 to help them reach promotion to the Championship.

Striker is a comic strip and former magazine which has been featured in the tabloid newspaper The Sun since 1985, aside from two intervals between 2003 and 2005 (when it was an independent magazine) and September, 2009 to January, 2013 (when it was unpublished, apart from a nine-month run in the British magazine Nuts). It was created by Pete Nash. Since its inception, the strip has revolved around the life of striker Nick Jarvis, who began his career as an apprentice footballer with First Division side Thamesford, before joining Warbury Warriors in 1994 as player/manager. The club were then a non-league side and Nick eventually led them to the Premier League. Several promotions and relegations have followed since then. Although Warbury won the European Champions League in 2009 (beating Chelsea) they have never actually won the Premier League. Although Warbury Warriors is a fictitious team (as was Thamesford) the comic strip features them playing against real teams and players from England's Premier League and Football League every week. Unusually for a comic strip, the players and characters generally age in real time. Nick's own playing career was ended in 2003 by a shark attack off Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. In May, 2013, with Warbury in Division 2, Nick briefly made a playing comeback at the age of 45 to help them reach promotion to the Championship.
