April, 2010



Strikers. They receive all the glory when their goals win games and they carry the can when their misses lose them. They are arguably the most important player on the pitch, but what makes them tick? What goes on in their head as they face down a goalkeeper? In our special ‘Strikers Issue’ we meet the men behind the goals – both past and present – to get an insight into football’s glamour position.




We talk to Premier League hot-shots Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres, Socceroos’ frontmen Harry Kewell and Josh Kennedy, as well last season’s Bundesliga top scorer Grafite and Man United legend Andy Cole to find out what it takes to play the hardest role in the business.
