graphite & putty eraser/30x21cm
After a day’s lull, this most recent drawing in the Project has as its
subject Christo (Hristo) Bonev, photo stickers representing whom were featured in both the FKS &
Panini albums published to commemorate the 1974 World Cup, & who was
selected as a member of the Bulgaria squad for the Finals, at which he went on
to captain his country in each of the three matches they played at the
tournament, scoring the goal against Uruguay that, but for a late equalizer,
almost gained the Bulgarians their first victory at a World Cup Finals (for
which, & having first qualified back in 1962, they would eventually have to
wait a further 20 years on from ’74 & a total of 17 matches).
