4. ANDREAS BREHME West Germany

He scored the winner from the penalty spot in the final, which was a fitting end to the tournament for a player who effectively defined the role of the wing-back.
Never less than solid defensively, Brehme had the engine to work up and down the left flank and was probably the best crosser in the side.
It was from his delivery that Jurgen Klinsmann headed West Germany’s second against Yugoslavia, he scored the second against the Dutch with a right-footed curler and, of course, struck – with his left foot this time - the free-kick that deflected off Paul Parker for West Germany’s goal in the semi-final.
