Sergemcmurto Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Met him at the oktoberfest a few years ago. We bought him a beer and sent it over with a message saying "that's for scoring against England " He burst out laughing and shortly after a tray of shots arrived courtesy of the man himself. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Very sad. Still a relatively young man. He was a top player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byyy The Light Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Italia 90 was the first World Cup I remember having been born in 1982. Remember sitting with my dad and his mates in the house watching him score the winning penalty. 1 hour ago, Sergemcmurto said: Met him at the oktoberfest a few years ago.

I was just wondering the other day what he was doing nowadays. Scored a free kick with his left foot in the semi and a penalty with his right foot in the final. Apparently, he was naturally left footed but decided that he was going to practicuntil his right was as good as his left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just wondering the other day what he was doing nowadays. I was behind the goal where he scored in the final and was also at the semi when he scored with a left foot free kick against England. Have to say the semi is one of the best games I've ever been at. Whilst I was happy Germany won that game I was wanting Argentina to win the final.

stirlo Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 1990 was the first world cup final I can properly remember. I only have vague recollections of the 86 world cup. The final was a really poor game from what I remember although I was just gutted that Italy weren't in it, but Brehme's name was written into footballing history with that goal, much like Mario Goetze in 2014 in a final between the same opponents (albeit West Germany in 1990). Sad news about Brehme's passing and another reminder that being a professional sportsperson doesn't guarantee anything when it comes to health.
