The Project continues with this drawing representing Sandro Mazzola,
who was featured in both the FKS & Panini World Cup ’74 sticker albums (the
former providing our original source image in this instance), &
subsequently selected for inclusion in the official Italy squad for the Finals,
where he went on to play in each of his country’s 3 First Round group matches,
after which they exited proceedings in disappointing fashion.
Another of those players with a fine World Cup pedigree, prior to 1974 the legendary Mazzola (a star also for his only club Internazionale) had played in all of the Italians’ matches at both the 1966 & 1970 Finals,
nine in total, scoring in the very first of these, against Chile, in England.
This drawing of a randomly-chosen 16th Italian player brings
to a close the second of our completed squads, following Saturday’s finalizing
of the Uruguay selection.
