Renowned German footballer and 1990 FIFA World Cup winner, Frank Mill, has passed away at the age of 67, following complications from a heart attack suffered in late May.
Mill, who collapsed shortly after entering a taxi at Milan Malpensa Airport while en route to participate in a documentary about Germany’s 1990 World Cup victory, was immediately airlifted to a hospital. After being resuscitated by doctors and placed in an artificial coma, his condition initially stabilized, allowing him to return to his hometown of Essen, Germany, for continued care.
Despite a courageous 10-week battle, Frank Mill passed away peacefully at 2:30 am.
A celebrated forward, Mill earned 17 caps for the German national team and won a bronze medal at the 1988 Olympic Games before being part of the squad that claimed the World Cup in Italy two years later.
Mill began his professional career at Rot-Weiss Essen before rising to prominence at Borussia Mönchengladbach, where he scored prolifically across over 150 appearances. He later played for Borussia Dortmund, adding a DFB Pokal title to his name, and concluded his career at Borussia Düsseldorf.
The German Football Association (DFB) paid tribute, stating: “We mourn the loss of Frank Mill, our 1990 World Champion. Rest in peace, Frank. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.”
Rot-Weiss Essen, Mill’s boyhood club, also honoured his legacy, saying: “Rest in peace, legend. Frank Mill played 165 professional matches (90 goals) for Rot-Weiss Essen. He was only 67 years old.”
Frank Mill is survived by his three children: Vanessa, Kevin, and Max.
