That’s very sad. An all time great, what a player he was.
Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

That’s so sad hearing he has died. My first memory of him was the first goal he scored against England when west Germany were 2-0 down at Mexico World Cup and they went on to win 3-2 with muller scoring the winner. Think I jumped up and down to that winning goal.

My memory of him was the Mexico 1970 world cup playing against England they were 2.0 down and I think he played with a sling on and he scored a goal to get Germany back in the game

LM was good but i'd agree with the sentiment Beckenbauer was Germanys best ever player. I think thats certainly the thought in Germany.

A two time world cup winner as player and manager, a European championship, a hat trick of European Cups, countless league titles in several countries, and twice ballon d'or winner.
Can't really ask for much more. What a player and what a career.

Only 3 men have won the World Cup as player and coach. That's 2 of them, Zagalo and Beckenbauer, passed away this year.
Didier Deschamps..... sleep well tonight

Suddenly we all wanted to be sweeper back in the day, strolling around imperiously, mopping things up and occasionally striding forward to have a shot.
It sometimes ended in disaster as you got your pocket picked by an alert forward and you were left floundering after them as they bore in on goal.
Hibs were in such a situation more than once. Naturally, I can't mention any names.

Different sport I know but JPR Willams gone too. Two absolute giants of their respective sports gone on the same day.
