Ottmar Walter, a member of the West Germany squad that won the 1954 World Cup, has died. He was 89.
The German Football Association said Walter died in a care home early Sunday.
Walter scored 336 goals in 321 matches for FC Kaiserslautern, where he played as a center forward alongside his brother Fritz, who died in 2002.
The Walter brothers won the German league together in 1951 and `53 and were part of the national team that won the World Cup after beating Hungary 3-2 in the 1954 final. Hungary led 2-0 before West Germany recovered in what became known as the ''Miracle of Bern.''
