Continuing the Project’s progress with this drawing featuring as its
portrait subject Roland Sandberg, who was represented in sticker form in both
the FKS & Panini World Cup ’74 albums (the former, as is most often the case, providing the original source material for the subsequent process of re-mediation) & also chosen as a member of the official
Sweden squad for the Finals, where he was selected to play in all 6 of the Swedes’
matches at the tournament, scoring twice, against Uruguay in a 3 – 0 victory in the concluding First
Round group match (the first goals Sweden had scored following two goalless draws), & then West Germany in the thrilling, rain-drenched 2 –
4 second phase defeat to the host nation that I can recall witnessing live on television one Sunday evening.
