- A striker who is in the main list of one certain decade, can only be in the reserves of all other decades.
- The main list of each decade is a group of the most notable strikers of that decade. The order is not a ranking system, however the first striker of each decade is considered as the most representative of that decade.
- The role of a striker is rather different from that of a traditional centre-forward, although the terms centre-forward and striker are used interchangeably at times, as both play further up the field than other players, while tall, heavy and technical players have qualities which are suited to both positions. Like the centre-forward, The traditional role of a striker is to score goals; strikers are therefore known for their ability to peel off defenders and to run into space via the blind side of the defender and to receive the ball in a good goalscoring position. They are typically fast players with good ball control and dribbling abilities. Shorter statured, more agile strikers have an advantage over taller defenders due to their short bursts of speed. Good strikers should be able to shoot confidently with either foot, possess great power and accuracy, and have the ability to link-up with teammates and pass the ball under pressure in breakaway situations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_(association_football)
