1986 World Cup hero Jose Luis “Tata” Brown has passed away at age 62 to his native, La Plata, Argentina.
The former silver defender had long suffered from “Alzheimer's”.
Brown, who became known in his career as “Tata”, scored his first and only goal for Argentina during the 1986 World Cup final, which Argentina won with a score of 3:2 against West Germany.
Near the end of the match, “Tata” had taken his shoulder out of the country, but refused to be replaced, thus becoming one of the Londoners' favorite players, Albeu writes. com
Brown played in Estudentes, La Plata, for most of his career, making about 300 presentations before moving to the Colombian club Atletico Nacional.
He played for a while in Boca Juniors and Deportivo Espanol before the 1986 World Cup, but his election to the Argentina World Championship team came as a surprise from Coach Carlos Bilardo.
He was chosen only to be on the bench in case any of the players were injured, but he won a seat in the first formation and played every match on Argentina's successful World Road.
