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intervals between 2003 and 2005 (when it was an independent magazine) and September, 2009 to January, 2013 (when it was unpublished, apart from a nine-month run in the British magazine Nuts).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.
