Andreas Brehme dead at only 63 years

[Bembeltown]

1990 WC legend Andreas Brehme has died aged 63.

I can remember how much I celebrated his penalty in the final of the 1990 WC in front of my parents TV. Absolute legend in Germany and a class player.

Ruhe in Frieden Andi!

Great player. Am I right in saying he took the penalty in the World Cup final with his weaker foot? RIP.

I don't really think he had a weak foot. He scored a penalty against Mexico in 86 with his left foot and scored the penalty in the 90s final with his right foot.

That's what I've heard I think. When I say "weaker", I know he probably didn't have a weaker foot, sounds better to say one was more dominant.
