charon 4,938 Posted July 2, 2017 That Bulgarian team has taken a kicking over the past few years I think. Shame, good side. However the most important Bulgarian from the 86WC has also recently died. Bogdan Dochev at 80. Was the linesman who thought Diego's Hand of God was a fine legal thing of beauty.
