'The friend of Pele & Moore and a footballing legend'
Briefly

'Der Kaiser', a contemporary, friend and rival of England's 1966 World Cup-winning duo Bobby Moore and Sir Bobby Charlton as well as Brazil's Pele, was part of a golden group of world-class players - including the great Netherlands star Johan Cruyff - who bestrode the game in the 1960s and 1970s.
Beckenbauer captained West Germany to World Cup victory in his home country in 1974 when the Netherlands were beaten in the final in Munich.
