The Kaiser has departed

A true great indeed, hated him when he was winning everything with West Germany and Bayern but a wonderful player who dropped back from midfield into a revolutionary attacking sweeper role. One of the few men to win a world cup as player and manager as well, an all time icon of the game.

RIP Franz

seen old footage of him playing he was some player one of the game's great. Pity they cant clone him as we could do with a young Beckenbauer in our side but obviously on loan cause we dont sign players these days.

RIP Franz.

A very cultured player indeed, Auf Wiedersehen.

What a great player up there with great legends of the game
Auf wiefersehen The Kaiser R.I.P

RIP

RIP Franz Beckenbauer.
