5 Players who won a World Cup despite putting in questionable contributions

2. Heinz Kwiatkowski - West Germany

Let’s go back to World Cup 1954. West Germany, at this time, was burdened with despair. Bert Trautmann concealed eight goals as a keeper. The coach Sepp Herberger overlooked the defeat, as that meant that they had to play against Yugoslavia instead of Brazil in the first knockout round. West Germany defeated Hungary and won the World Cup final. However, Kwiatkowski did not have much to offer.
