World Cup winner Frank Mill has come back from the dead, after suffering a HEART ATTACK in a taxi.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker was part of the West Germany squad that won Italia ’90.
Mill flew to Italy last month to take part in a documentary about the World Cup victory.
But German media revealed he suffered a cardiac arrest shortly after getting into a cab at Milan’s Malpensa airport.
A helicopter was scrambled to take him to the hospital for emergency surgery.
The 66-year-old was reportedly dead for a few minutes before doctors managed to restart his heart.
Mill was placed in an artificial coma for several days to allow his condition to stabilise.
Medics finally allowed him to be flown back to his German home city Essen to continue his recovery.
Mill’s family refused to respond to media enquiries about the former footballer’s current state of health.
Mill was capped 17 times by Germany and also made 20 appearances for his country’s Olympic team.
Mill won the German FA Cup with Dortmund and helped them reach the 1993 UEFA Cup final.
He had been playing for Dortmund’s veterans side as recently as last year.
West Germany boss Franz Beckenbauer named the 5ft 9ins frontman in his Italia 90 squad.
Mill, however, never got a game as he was faced with competition from Jurgen Klinsmann, Rudi Voller and future Liverpool flop Karlheinz Riedle.
He also played for Rot-Weiss Essen and Borussia Mönchengladbach and ended his career with Fortuna Dusseldorf.
