Paul's finest hour was his choice of Spain as winner of the World Cup Paul the octopus, an unlikely star of the 2010 World Cup who 'predicted' the outcome of seven matches, has died at an aquarium in Germany.
Staff at the Sea Life centre in Oberhausen said they were "devastated" to learn that he had passed away during the night.

Octopuses rarely live beyond two years so his death was not unexpected.
