The latest drawing in the project features a particularly ghostly
representation of Jurica Jerkovic, who was pictured in the FKS ‘Wonderful World
of Soccer Stars World Cup 1974’ sticker album & subsequently included in
the Yugoslavia squad for the tournament, at which he appeared in each of the
Yugoslav’s 3 Second Phase matches, as a late substitute against West Germany
(too late to effect the course of events after his team had just gone 0 – 2
down), as an early replacement for Brane 'Branko' Oblak against Poland, & then
retaining his place from the start in the final defeat to Sweden, none of which
registered upon my consciousness at the time.
