BERLIN (Reuters) - Former West Germany goalkeeper Hans Tilkowski, who played in the 1966 World Cup final against winners England, has died at the age of 84, his family told German media on Monday.
That final featured one of the most controversial goals in football history when Geoff Hurst's shot bounced off the crossbar and landed on the goal line with Tilkowski beaten, before the ball was then headed clear.
Tilkowski, who was a backup keeper at the 1962 World Cup in Chile, played club football between 1952 and 1970 for Westfalia Herne, Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt.
