The latest subject to be randomly drawn is Sven-Gunnar Larsson, who was
a member of the Sweden squad as represented in the FKS ‘Wonderful World of
Soccer Stars World Cup 1974’ sticker album, & then the official one for the
Finals themselves, where, as reserve goalkeeper to Ronnie Hellström, he alas
didn’t get to make an appearance in any of the Swedes’ six matches, although
the records show he played twice at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico, displacing Hellström
after Sweden’s first group match. Needless to say, he remained one of the many
unknown names of the ’74 World Cup until the acquisition of the sticker album
& the beginnings of this drawing project.
