  Striker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strikers, also known as centre forwards, forwards, and attackers, and formerly inside forwards, are the players on a team in football in the row nearest to the opposing team's goal, who are therefore principally responsible for scoring goals.
Some centre forwards are "poachers", who work in and around the goal area to snatch goals; they are sometimes called a "fox in the box"'; notable examples of poachers are Romário, Ronaldo, Gerd Müller, Gabriel Batistuta, Robbie Fowler, Gary Lineker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ian Rush, Ian Wright, and Hernán Crespo.
Other forwards may rely on their pace to run onto balls passed over or through the opposition defence, rather than to collect the ball with their back to goal in the manner of a target man, for example Johan Cruijff, Djibril Cisse, Michael Owen, Fernando Torres and Samuel Eto'o.

 Forward of Centre (FOC)
The FOC value for an arrow indicates how far forward of the centre of the shaft the centre of gravity (COG) is located, expressed as a percentage.
As the shaft is lighter the COG is further forward and the FOC is larger.
As covered in the section on drag, the drag force on an arrow is split between two separate forces; one which acts through the arrow centre of gravity which acts to move the arrow and one which acts somewhere else, roughly around where the fletchings are which acts to rotate the arrow.

 Commonwealth Bank Group - Business Centre - Forward Foreign Exchange   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A Forward Exchange Contract has an agreed future date.  If the underlying trade transaction is accelerated or delayed you may wish to pre-deliver or extend the contract.  In these circumstances adjustments to the agreed forward exchange rate will be necessary to reflect the interest rate differential for the new period.
Forward Exchange Contracts can be arranged with optional delivery periods and are ideal if you are unsure of the exact date you’ll need to buy or sell the foreign currency.
The forward margins are adjusted at the time of writing the forward contract to reflect the impact of the optional period.

 Observer | Centre forward
It's 35 years since the Brunswick Centre was built - and the wrinkles are beginning to show.
With its distinctive terraces and greenhouse windows, the Brunswick Centre, near Russell Square, is one of London's best-known 60s blocks.
The Grade II-listed structure is, depending on your view, an architectural tour de force or a dilapidated eyesore, beloved of fans of futuristic concrete yet besieged by drug addicts and prostitutes seeking refuge in its shady walkways.

 Water Polo Defense: Drill - centre back
The centre back picks up the centre forward at 6 meters and the forward needs to push back to 2.5 metres from goal.
The ball is thrown into the centre forward from the middle of the pool (only one example of possible centre forward/back positions is illustrated).
Variations are to use centre backs only for passing and defending the hole, and centre forwards only for shooting; or to have players drive after the pass has gone in, so the centre forward can shoot or pass.

 Arsenal-Mania.com Forum - RvP - Second Striker or a modern Centre Forward?
I hear many arguments both on forums and in the pubs about the type of forward RvP is. The argument seems to stem from 2 things; just how far forward he plays, and his creativity and 'lack' of aerial threat, as well as his lack of 'seniority' when partnering either Dennis or Titi.
Personally I'm in the second camp, he is a lot more of a centre forward than we've had since the likes of Smudger, with the exception of Kanu who I would also class as the same type of player, but he fits it to the way we play.
He is usually our furthest man forward, he leads the line well, is a natural goal scorer and is selfish, but he links play well and has the vision to lay chances on for others, is a flair player, and seems at his best on the edge of the box.

 Stopping the CF   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The opposition's centre forward is usually high on the list of team defensive planning and strategy priorities.
The centre-back pushes the CF as far away from the goal as possible, closing in on the perimeter palyers and away from the goals
Clever defences swim and drive off the centre forward as much as possible - thus tiring the CF and exposing the CF to a kickout

 Kurdish Cultural Centre: Looking Forward
With the success of grant applications, we have been able to extend our activities in three directions: the education project (started in September 1997), the work with elderly people (begun in October 1998), and the health project (beginning in August 1998).
The building in Stannary Street is now very much more of a community centre than it was a year ago; more people are using it throughout more of the year, and with that increased use has come increased need for repair to the fabric of the building and for additional space for activities.
We are also aware that, while the work of the Centre is well known in some circles, there is still some lack of understanding of our services on the part of local authority departments.

 ESPN.com Soccernet England: News - Keown: 'I could have been a centre forward'
As strange as it may seem, Keown could have been a centre forward.
Having quietly developed his game to the extent that at 34 he is now arguably England's most reliable, competent defender, he certainly has no need to rue a decision he made almost 20 years ago.
Nevertheless, had it not been for the overtures made by Arsenal when Keown was a teenager growing up in Oxford, he could now be scoring goals for a living rather than saving them for special occasions.

 Shearer, the classic centre forward, retires : HindustanTimes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A man who rose from a modest background to become England captain and the world's most expensive footballer, Shearer was a classic centre forward.
The 35-year-old had a rocket shot, was strong in the air and there are few centre backs in the Premier League who have not felt the force of his elbows.
Shearer won a league title with Blackburn Rovers but could have won many more trophies if he had not turned down Manchester United to join Newcastle United, his beloved hometown team.
