Haller Steals the World Cup Ball

In the 1966 World Cup final, Haller scored the opening goal for Germany — and then took the match ball home.

Thirty years later, an English newspaper tracked the ball down in Haller's living room in Augsburg. The ball was returned and now resides in England's football museum.
