World champion Andreas Brehme is dead. The 1990 world champion is said to have suffered a cardiac arrest.
In the 1990 World Cup final in Rome, the Hamburg native scored the only goal of the game from a penalty against Argentina, making Germany world champions. The left-back wore the German national team jersey 86 times in his career and scored eight goals - the most important thing in Rome. He won the German championship once with FC Bayern and Kaiserslautern. Between 1988 and 1992 he played for Inter Milan and then for Real Zaragoza in Spain.
