Today’s subject proved to be Zygmunt Kalinowski, who was included in
the FKS ‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars World Cup 1974’ sticker album &
the Poland squad for the Finals, although subsequently, as one of the reserves
to the goalkeeper who had played such a large & already-legendary part in
the Poles’ qualification, Jan Tomaszewski, he played no part in the tournament,
although his presence was, to my novice’s experience of the 1974 World Cup, no
more ‘ghostly’ than many who did & who, subsequently, have similarly only
emerged into the light of consciousness through such examples of memorabilia as
the commemorative albums & official records.
