The latest subject to be re-mediated in the drawing project is Ernie
Campbell, who was represented in the FKS ‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars World
Cup 1974’ sticker album & subsequently selected for inclusion in the
official Australia squad for the Finals, where he appeared for the first half
of the Australians’ second match, the 0 – 3 defeat to hosts West Germany, being
substituted at half-time (with the score at 0 – 2).
Needless to say, given such
a fleeting involvement in proceedings, Ernie Campbell’s was another of the
names that escaped attention at the time of my novice’s exposure to the
television coverage of the tournament.
