Brazil to Brazil – a unique collection of 34 signed photographs of players who scored in a World Cup Final

  • A collection of 20”x16” exhibition prints of each of the 34 players who scored a goal in a World Cup final
    The set consists of the 34 then living FIFA World Cup Final goalscorers at the time of the 2014 Brazil Final.
  • The collection comes with a copy of the Book ‘Goal’ signed by Sir Geoff Hurst 

The modern FIFA World Cup as we know it began in 1950 in Brazil. Sixty four years later it returned home to Rio de Janeiro. At the time only 58 people had ever scored a goal in a FIFA World Cup Final. When Mario Goetze scored the winning goal in the Maracana in July 2014 for Germany 34 of those 58 were still alive. The list does not include Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo. It is the most exclusive club in world football.

Award winning Northern Irish photographer and filmaker MICHAEL DONALD spent six years travelling to thirteen countries to film, interview and photograph every single one of the living goalscorers.. The outcome was: – The Book, ‘Goal!’, which was the official FIFA book for the Russian 2018 FIFA World Cup Finals, published worldwide, where Donald’s portraits are accompanied by in depth interviews with each player. It is now an international best seller. – Six sets of 20”x16” exhibition prints of each of the 34 players . Each set consists of the 34 then living FIFA World Cup Final goalscorers at the time of the 2014 Brazil Final, The photographs are printed on 20”x16” exhibition Fuji Crystal C-Type and Fuji Archival Bromide paper. Once the project was finished Donald spent another two years having all the prints signed by the players themselves, making each phtotograph and each set completely unique. – An ESPN, Emmy nominated documentary, “I Scored a Goal in the World Cup Final”, was broadcast world wide.

THE COLLECTION THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS PIECES OF WORLD CUP HISTORY EVER CREATED. This is the last of the six original signed sets (by both players and photographer). Of the 34 Footballers in the Collection, only 23 of them are still with us, meaning that this Collection can never ever be repeated.
