The Ivica Strok story just gets better and better.
The Celtic and Croatia striker has won pretty much every honour in the game and has fans from the other side of the world buying shirts with his name on. It’s sometimes easy to forget he isn’t real.
Strok, for those unfamiliar with the worldwide sensation, is a regen developed by Football Manager’s game engine. And now his online mythology is about to get that bit better with a spot at the National Football Museum in Manchester.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
One of my Celtic shirts will be displayed at at the National @FootballMuseum as part of an exhibition called Pitch To Pixel.

Jonny Sharples, who uncovered Strok’s talents during his Football Manager exploits, described it as “the most ridiculous thing ever”.
