The random choice of subject today is Bo Larsson, who after
being selected for inclusion in the Sweden squads as represented in both the
FKS & Panini 1974 World Cup collectors’ sticker albums, & the actual official
one for the finals, played in all five of the Swedes’ matches, & indeed
captained the team, up to the point he was withdrawn during that fifth game,
the memorable 2 – 4 second phase defeat to West Germany that resulted in Sweden’s
elimination, thereafter missing their final ‘dead’ game against Yugoslavia.
A
true World Cup stalwart, Bo Larsson also played in each of Sweden’s three
matches at both the 1970 & 1978 World Cups, although his is but another of
the mostly ‘unknown’ names of which I was unaware until embarking on this
project.
