A famous Penningworth United and Starblaydia striker, Nikola Lazerevski won Golden Boots aplenty in the early days of the Starblaydi League, where he quickly earned the nickname 'Laser' for his deadly-accurate shooting skills.
He scored a massive eleven goals in the qualifiers for World Cup 15 as Starblaydia produced an even Played 18, Won 6, Drawn 6, Lost 6 record in their first attempt at a World Cup. After retiring from Football he became a colour-commentator (known everywhere outside of the USA as an 'analyst') for SCB:Sports until Lord Rikaard Van Honjiik employed him in the Ministry for Sport, bringing his wealth of experience to the behind-the-scenes machinations of the Starblaydi Football Association.
After his successes and out-shining of Lord Honjiik in co-management of the World Cup 22 side with the Minister, Nikola was given the World Cup 23 Managership for himself. His tally of 15 goals at International level is considered to be the benchmark for Starblaydi Strikers. Reach that tally and a player can really be called 'great'. Any player who breaches the magical number 15 is inducted into the Rapaii 15 club, exclusively for Starblaydi player who have scored 15 or more international goals in their career.
Nikola had publically stated that he would retire from managing Starblaydia at the end of World Cup 25, as he was already 68 years old. Even though his team won the World Cup that year, Nikola was firm in his decision that he would step down, leaving a new manager, Khim Azanulbizarn, to defend Starblaydia's trophy.
