Well, it happened. Striker is delighted to announce this humble account now has over 700 followers. To be clear though, this was never about stat-padding - or Striker would play for @AlNassrFC_EN - and is always about the memories.
Thank you, friends of football, thank you.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Airplane! (1980) is comedy gold. Casting one of the most recognizable athletes as a straight-faced airline co-pilot, then having a kid call him out as Kareem, is still one of the funniest celebrity cameos ever put on film.

Striker has mentioned before some of the highlights from the WC 94 qualifiers. Of all the magic moments, the #France v #Bulgaria is, perhaps, the most memorable.

Throw some underrated World Cup footballers at me, people.
Those players that weren’t classed as superstars but had really a good impact at the famous competition.
Kennet Andersson of Sweden is my pick. An underrated class act at USA 94.
