Nicknamed Der Kaiser or the Emperor apparently for his first name “Franz”, Beckenbauer has certainly been an emperor. He won the European Footballer of the Year twice, and is of the few successful players who went on to become successful managers. Beckenbauer played for Bayern Munich and New York Cosmos for the major part of his career, winning many laurels and almost all silverware. He was a contemporary of Gerd Muller and his team-mate at the World Cup win in 1974.
