Scorer

Scorer, written by Barrie Tomlinson and drawn at various times by Barrie Mitchell, John Gillatt, David Sque and David Pugh, began running in the Daily Mirror in 1989 and ran until February 19th 2011. It was a football/adventure serial much like Pete Nash's Striker (which ran in rival paper The Sun) centred on the adventures of footballer Dave Storry of Tolcaster F.C both on and off the pitch. The other significant character in the strip was Storry's Danish air hostess (and later model) girlfriend Ulrika, who had the last word in the final strip, declaring that they would "live happily ever after".
