The latest drawing in the Project is a re-mediation of an image of the magnificently-named
Ladislao Mazurkiewicz, who was represented in the Panini ’München 74’ sticker
album but not its FKS counterpart, & also chosen for selection in the
Uruguay squad for the Finals (having also kept goal at both the 1966 & 1970
tournaments, but only once for his national team between the latter & the ’74
World Cup), where he appeared in all 3 of the Uruguayans’ matches, although his
or indeed their presence made no impression upon my consciousness at the time
(for whatever reason, though the name & his playing for Uruguay are
significant factors it must be admitted, Mazurkiewicz, now sadly deceased, has subsequently
become one of my favourite historical goalkeepers).
