Epic game in the 1974 WC final against Holland.
Not our (the Dutch) biggest friend after we lost the '74 WC Final, but still he death makes headlines here. And all media agree that 'Der Kaiser' was a well-earned nickname for him. RIP.
Der Kaiser
Legend.
RIP
The only professional footballer to feature in a Monty Python sketch !
RIP Franz.
One of the all time greats. RIP Franz.

Ahead of his time.
It is on him that many of today and yesteryear are based for sweeper/centre half role.
66 World Cup was when him and Charlton cancelled each other out. Two greats of the game. Both sadly gone.
Like the post above, I proudly wore adidas Beckenbauer Super boots - they were bright green/yellow three stripes.
Jim
May he rest in peace
Der Kaiser ist tot.
RIP
His teams ruined my childhood, he led the come back for Germany in Mexico 1970 and then destroyed us at Wembley in the European championships in 1972. Great player RIP
I got so close to actually seeing Der Keiser back in 1978 when Chelsea entertained NY Cosmos in a friendly at Stamford Bridge.
Unfortunately along with most of my mates we got locked out once the Bridge official capacity of 39000 was reached, apparently there were at least a further 10000 unofficially inside.
