The latest subject in the project is an image of Herbert Wimmer, who
was represented in the Panini ’München 74’ sticker album, which provides the original
source material for the drawing in this instance.
Selected as a member of the official West Germany squad for the 1974
World Cup Finals, Wimmer made two appearances at the tournament, as a
substitute against Australia & then starting against Yugoslavia before
being replaced himself late in that game.
It would be a little later, possibly during the 1976 European Championships (he
played the first half of the Final), certainly during his club career with
Borussia Monchengladbach, that Herbert Wimmer’s name would become memorable to
me.
