A new rival to Goal and Shoot appeared at the start of 1970 - "Striker".
Sticking to 32 pages, it was very similar in format and layout to Shoot, with a colour front and back cover, colour centre spread, and a couple of other pages in each issue given over to colour posters. The magazine ran for 113 issues, with the final edition dated March 4th 1972.
For the first time, we are pleased to be able to offer a small selection of these, and as with the other publications in our Classic Magazines section, colour poster content on the front cover/centre/back cover/other page, other page etc. are all listed in the usual format.
UNLESS STATED, STRIKER MAGAZINES ARE PRICED AT £2 EACH
