Featuring as our subject today a re-mediated image of Carlos Reinoso, appearing every inch the archetypal Seventies' footballer, who was represented in the FKS ‘Wonderful World of Soccer Stars World Cup 1974’
sticker album & subsequently chosen as a member of the official Chile squad
for the tournament, where he played in each of his country’s three matches:
although I do remember Chile as being one of the teams present at the ’74 World
Cup, I must admit to having no recollection of Carlos Reinoso or any of the
individual players.
As regards contemporary matters, disappointing news of two of our
favourites from a couple of the European city derby matches this weekend, with
Red Star Belgrade losing to Partizan & Grasshoppers being defeated by FC
Zurich. In Budapest, though, its rather pleasing to see grand old MTK up in
second place, keeping winning to put a bit of pressure on the top spot, &,
behind them Ferencvaros back up to fourth with a win.
