GERMANY mourned the death of two former World Cup winners yesterday with 1974 champion Heinz Flohe passing away hours before 1954 winner Ottmar Walter.
Flohe, who won 39 caps for Germany and scored eight goals, spent 13 seasons at home club Cologne which he led to the domestic league and Cup double in 1978. A three-time German Cup winner, Flohe played in the 1978 World Cup scoring two goals. The former midfielder fell into a coma in 2010 after collapsing in the street and never recovered. He was 65.
Walter, who along with his late brother Fritz, was part of Germany's "Miracle of Bern" team that beat the mighty Hungary 3-2 in a dramatic final in Switzerland. Capped 21 times, Walter scored four goals in five games at the 1954 event. He was 89.
