Gerd Mueller
Legendary German striker Gerd Mueller died in the early hours of Sunday at the age of 75, his former club Bayern Munich has confirmed.
During a glittering career, Mueller scored a record 365 goals for Bayern in the Bundesliga during the 1960s and 70s, as well as scoring 68 times for West Germany in 62 internationals.
“Today is a sad, black day for FC Bayern and its fans,” said Bayern president Herbert Hainer. “Gerd Mueller was the greatest striker there has ever been—and a fine person, a personality in world football. Without Gerd Mueller, Bayern would not be the club we all love today. His name and the memory of him will live on forever.”
