Club career

edit

Bayern Munich

edit

Born 3 November 1945, inNördlingen,Germany, Müller began his football career at his hometown clubTSV 1861 Nördlingenyouth ranks in 1958. Aged 18, Müller joinedBayern Munichin 1964, where he teamed up with future starsFranz BeckenbauerandSepp Maier.The club, which would go on to become the most successful German club in history, was then still in theRegionalliga Süd(Regional League South),which was one level below theBundesligaat the time.

After one season, Bayern Munich advanced to the Bundesliga and started a long string of successes. With his club, Müller amassed titles during the 1960s and 1970s: he won the German Championship four times, theDFB-Pokalfour times, theEuropean Cupthree consecutive years (the first West German team to win it; Müller scored in the1974 finalreplay and the1975 final), theIntercontinental Cuponce, and theEuropean Cup Winners' Cuponce.[7]

An opportunistic goal-scorer, Müller also became German top scorer seven times and European top scorer twice. Müller scored 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich, 53 goals over the second-most successful Bundesliga scorer,Robert Lewandowski,since 2022.[7]

Club goal records

edit

At his peak, Müller held the single-season Bundesliga record with 40 goals inseason 1971–72,a record that would be held until Lewandowski scored 41 goals during the2020–21 season,also for Bayern Munich.[8]Then, he also held the record for most club goals scored in all European club competitions in one season for 40 years,scoring67 goals during the1972–73 FC Bayern Munich season,and 85 (72 for Munich, 13 West Germany) goals in total during 1972. However, that record was surpassed byLionel MessiofFC Barcelonain Spain who scored 73 in the2011/12season, and 91 goals in the calendar year of 2012.[9][10][11]

Fort Lauderdale Strikers

edit

After his career in the Bundesliga, Müller went to theUnited States,where he joined theFort Lauderdale Strikers(based in theMiami area) of theNorth American Soccer League(NASL) in 1979.[12]He played three seasons with this team, scoring 38 goals,[12]and reaching, but losing, the league final in 1980.[13]

International career

edit

Müller scored68 goalsin 62 games forWest Germany.[7]He was Germany's all-time leading scorer for almost 40 years until surpassed byMiroslav Klosein 2014, though Klose required over double the number of caps to do so, scoring his 69th goal in his 132nd appearance.[14]Müller's international career started in 1966 and ended on 7 July 1974 with victory at the1974 FIFA World Cupat hishome stadiumin Munich.[15]He scored the winning goal for the 2–1 victory overJohan Cruyff'sNetherlandsinthe final.His four goals in that tournament and his ten goals at the1970 FIFA World Cupcombined made him the all-time highestFIFA World Cupgoalscorer at the time with 14 goals. His record stood until the2006tournament, coincidentally held in Germany, when it was broken by Brazilian strikerRonaldo,who also required more matches than Müller to achieve his tally.[5]Müller also participated in the1972 European Championship,becoming top scorer with four goals (including two inthe final) and winning the Championship with the West German team.[7]

Müller quit playing for West Germany after the 1974 FIFA World Cup triumph following an argument with theGerman Football Association(DFB) at the post-tournament celebration, when officials' wives were allowed to attend but players' wives were not.

Life after football

edit
Müller in 2006

After Müller ended his career in 1981, he fell into a slump and suffered fromalcoholism.However, his former companions at Bayern Munich convinced him to go throughalcohol rehabilitation.When he emerged, they gave him a job as a coach atBayern Munich II.

He held the position from 1992 until he retired in 2014 due to health problems. There is also a collection of apparel released by sporting giantsAdidasunder the Gerd Müller name. It is part of the Adidas originals series. In July 2008, the Rieser Sportpark, in Nördlingen, where Müller had begun his career, was renamed the Gerd-Müller-Stadion in his honour.[16][17]

On 6 October 2015, it was announced that Müller was suffering fromAlzheimer's disease.[18]He died on 15 August 2021 in a nursing home inWolfratshausen,aged 75.[19][20]

Player profile

edit

Style of play

edit
Müller,Ruud KrolandJohan Cruyffin 1978

In his book,Brilliant Orange: The Neurotic Genius of Dutch Football,authorDavid Winnerwrites, "Müller was short, squat, awkward-looking and not notably fast; he never fitted the conventional idea of a great footballer, but he had lethal acceleration over short distances, a remarkable aerial game, and uncanny goalscoring instincts. His short legs gave him a low center of gravity, so he could turn quickly and with perfect balance in spaces and at speeds that would cause other players to fall over. He also had a knack of scoring in unlikely situations."[21]

Müller used extreme acceleration, agility, and deceptive changes of pace to get to loose balls first, and bypass defenders.[22][23]His teammateFranz Beckenbauerhas emphasized Müller's unusual speed: "His pace was incredible. In training I have played against him and I never had a chance."[24]

A prolific goalscorer, Müller was also known for his movement, coordination, intelligence, and clinical finishing inside the penalty area.[23][25][26][27]He had the ability to score goals from awkward positions with almost any part of his body, not only with his head or either foot.[23][28]

Legacy

edit

Müller is widely considered to be one of the greatest strikers and goalscorers in the history of football. He is seen as the greatest "goal poacher"in history,[26][29][30]withGary Linekercalling him "the ultimate goal poacher".[31]He is one of only two players, alongsideLionel Messi,to have won theFIFA World Cup,theUEFA Champions League,theBallon d'Orand theEuropean Golden Shoe.[32]After his death in 2021,FC Bayern MunichpresidentHerbert Hainerdeclared that Müller was "the greatest striker there's ever been", whileFranz Beckenbauerstated that Müller was "the most important player in the history of Bayern Munich".[33]
