Continuing the Project’s proceedings with a re-mediation of an image, as-ever randomly-chosen, of Colin Curran, who was represented amongst the
16-man Australia selection in the FKS ‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars World
Cup 1974’ sticker album & subsequently included in his country’s official
squad for the Finals (Curran was very much in the minority to actually be
Australian by birth), where he went on to play in each of Australia’s three matches.
Curran also holds the distinction of being the first Australian to
score at a World Cup Finals, & indeed the only one at the 1974 event, although
unfortunately it was an own-goal, to East Germany’s benefit in the teams’
opening fixture, which subsequently ended 2 – 0 to the East Germans.
