Today’s randomly-chosen subject is Wolfgang Overath, who was
represented in both the FKS & Panini ‘World Cup ‘74’ preview/commemorative
sticker albums, & subsequently selected as a member of the official West
Germany squad, going on to appear in each of his country’s 7 matches, scoring
twice, as they went on to win the tournament.
Given this, Overath’s is one of
the relatively few names I remember from the televised experience of the World
Cup itself, having inevitably been mentioned on numerous occasions (certainly,
I can remember watching the games against Sweden, Poland &, the Final of
course, Holland).
