John Raymond "Strike" Strzykalski (December 14, 1921 – June 19, 2002) was an American professional football player who was a halfback for the San Francisco 49ers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Marquette Golden Avalanche and was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the 1946 NFL draft.[1] Strzykalski served in the United States Air Force prior to his football career.[2]
Nicknamed "Strike" by his teammates, Strzykalski retired at the end of the 1952 NFL season together with quarterback Frankie Albert, leaving Bruno Banducci the last original 49er on the roster.[3]
