Hans Tilkowski, the West Germany goalkeeper in the 1966 World Cup final against England, has died. He was 84.
German soccer club Borussia Dortmund said Monday that Tilkowski died Sunday following "a long, severe illness," and that he had been with his family.
"Terrific player for his club, Borussia Dortmund, and country and a very fine man," Hurst wrote. "I very much enjoyed the time we spent together over the years." "The title of world champion would have been the deserved culmination of his career with the national team," Keller said. "He was not only an excellent player, but he also was very involved in society off the field. For me, he’s among German football’s greatest personalities and his death is a painful loss for the and for the football family."
