A true great. 3 months after the man he marked out of the 66 final. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67917047 Mainly remember him as manager of the superb 1990 West German WC winning side but his legacy as a player is hard to beat. Was a recent book written about him by the ever excellent Uli-Hesse Lichtenburger that I need to get https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-three-lives-of-the-kaiser/uli-hesse/9781471189104 Beckenbauer, Pele & Bobby Charlton all gone within 12 months - the true Golden Generation.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 RIP, Great player. Won the WC as a player and manager, same as Zagallo who died last week. Deschamp the only one left. LeedsCityRam and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Proper Legend in every sense. Another sad loss in the global game. RIP, Der Kaiser. xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Another childhood legend gone. Growing up in the 60's and 70's we should have disliked "The Kaiser", yet we loved and respected the best German player of his generation and arguably of all time. RIP Franz, fondly remembered with Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and Pele. All greats and all gentlemen.

GB SPORTS Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) My best Beckenbauer memory is when Bayern beat the Dirties in European Cup Final in 1975 at the Parc Des Prince in Paris. The scarf twirlers still moan about that game to this very day.

StockholmRam Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 For me… Sir Franz and his team beating Dirty Leeds in the 1975 European Cup final is still my favourite result ever… even better that when we beat Benfica and Real Madrid. I was lucky enough to have seen him play, incredibly for New York Cosmos in Giant Stadium in 1978. Carlos Alberto also played that night but sadly not Pele. Charlie George played too. Opposition.
