The latest randomly-chosen subject/image to be re-mediated through the
drawing process is (one of) Pierre Bayonne, who was represented in the FKS
‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars World Cup 1974’ sticker album, amongst the
16-strong Haiti selection, but not the reduced 6-man group that had to suffice
for the ‘minnow’ nations (also including both Australia & Zaire) in the
Panini ’München 74’ collection.
Subsequently, Bayonne was chosen as a member of
the official Haitian squad for the Finals, where he went on to play in all 3 of
his country’s matches in the tournament, then the first & still the only
World Cup for which Haiti have qualified.
