Brehme played mostly down the left but was two-footed and, iirc, scored with his right for the penalty and only goal of the final in Italia 90. Also played in the young West German side that gave Argentina a hell of a match four years earlier. 
Also, in addition to HMHM’s point about the 3 Germans at Inter and the Dutch trio at Milan. That was the strongest and richest league in the world at that time. Not just that but only 3 foreigners were allowed in any starting XI in Serie A back then too. So you had to be a bit special to make the cut

I was too old. 🙁 

 

Probably still haunted by antediluvian memories, right?

He was an absolute beast at Italia 90 if my then 14 year old's brain is recalling correctly.

I haven’t seen another player as good as him with either foot.

 

Couldn‘t be said about both sides of his brain though. Decent bloke who was clever enough to realise his limits when his managerial career wasn’t going anywhere.

I remember over on N-O, Parky (without saying it was Irvine who said it) relating some of his views about Anne Frank. But as though they were the established historical consensus.

Not sure. He still occasionally did when this place temporarily shut down.

Keith's deed. :( :rip:

 

I remember his appraisal (paraphrasing). 

Brent (looking exaasperated); "Can you describe one of your weaknesses?"

Keith: "Eczema" :lol:

 

WIll never forget that, in fact used it myself a couple of times.
