Continuing the Project with a re-mediated drawing of an image of Tarcisio
Burgnich, who, as a stalwart of the Italy team for some years, was represented
in both the FKS & Panini World Cup ’74 sticker albums & selected as a
member of the official Italian squad for the Finals (his third such honour, having appeared
in 2 matches at the 1966 tournament & all 6 in 1970, even scoring one of his
total of 2 international goals in the semi-final against West Germany), where
he went to play in all 3 of Italy’s matches before they made a First Round exit.
For all this pedigree, Burgnich’s was
not a name that registered during my experience of the 1974 World Cup, however.
