This is quite tragic, ever so young.

He was an absolutely brilliant footballer. Both footed, tough, classy, and when in attacking situations, quite devastating. One my favourite players when I was just beginning to understand the game. Awesome. Watch the famous Germany vs Holland match Italia 90'.. a real (real) heavyweight clash, Rudi Voellor and Frank Rijkaard had a horrible (but memorable moment..). But watch the winning goal and the German celebration. That German team were unreal. Powerhouse of a team.

RIP Andreas Brehme

Sad news; RIP.
He was a great player for Germany and was 'hated' because of his passion and success; but that was just on the pitch. Very young and must be devastating for his family and friends.

 

[Arnold Layne]

Amazing player. That Germany Holland game in Italia 90 was tasty as Brehme Matthaus and Klinsmann playd for Inter and Gullit Van Basten and Rijkaard played for AC Milan.

 

[André Dominguez]

One of the best left backs in football history. Amazing tactical knowledge, if the manager played him in the midfield or as CB he would succeed as well.
