Gerd Müller RIP

[Hibrandenburg]

Next to Beckenbauer, Müller was probably Germany's most celebrated football player.

A prolific goalscorer who netted 68 goals in 62 games for West Germany and 398 for Bayern Munich in 453 appearances.

Plagued by alcohol problems, Müller became pretty much a recluse apart from his trainer role with Bayern Munich's amateur team and shied away from most publicity.

RIP Gerd

Just announced on BBC news.
What a prolific poacher striker he was.
England were terrified of him

The quintessential goal poacher par excellence. Give him half a yard of space and half a second in the box and the ball almost certainly ended in the back of the net.

RIP
