My Take
Frank Mill is my kind of football hero: gloriously human. An Essen-born striker on West Germany's 1990 World Cup-winning squad, he is half-remembered for a famously missed open goal, yet that anecdote only makes him more endearing to me. Two Olympic appearances and a 1988 bronze prove the longevity behind the legend. I love that he later reinvented himself as an entrepreneur, refusing to coast on past glory. The polished, untouchable champions rarely stay with me; the grafters who fought, stumbled, and kept going do. His passing in 2025 closed a career I find genuinely admirable for its grit rather than its perfection.
