Andreas „Andi“ Brehme passes away at 63

[Strummer]

The German World-cup Winner, and playing legend at Bayern, Internazionale and latterly Kaiserslautern (when they sensationally won the title in 1998) has died at the age of 63, Kicker confirms.

A sad day, he was a former assistant coach at the VfB (in 2005-06, under Giovanni Trappatoni) as well.

Jesus, only 63... remember him as a very tenacious player, hard working and skillful. Sad day for German football.

I remember his free kick that bounced off Parker & over Shilton

Didn't he score the winning pen in the 1990 WC

RIP

It seems that being a super-fit footballer in your prime is no guarantee of a long and healthy life.

Well, like many ex sportsmen who had to lead a life of de rigour he did let himself go a bit?
Too many awards dinners.

Yes he did.

Very good footballer from the days when I loved watching the internationals (and German looked like a bunch of winning machines). RIP Andreas.

Another good 'un gone. Rest in peace.

Terrible haircuts that German side had

Andreas Brehme was a giant for Inter in an era when Serie A ruled the world | Richard Hall

In 1990 the German won the World Cup in Rome but he had already won plenty of hearts further north in Milan

A lovely tribute.

Him and Pearce were the best left backs in the world at one point.

As a kid growing up, Italia 90 was the most special World Cup for me.

Maradona doing his keepy uppies in the opening ceremony. You could feel how in awe everyone was of him in the stadium and behind the TV.

Then Cameroon beat Argentina in one of the biggest shocks of all time.

The amount of legends in that World Cup. Germany had many. Mattheus. Klinsmann. Voller (I didn't like the spitting from Rijkaard btw).

Then Brehme. I'll never forget that free-kick against England in the semis and then the winning penalty in the final. So that makes him a legend too. People who produce at key moments. RIP.
