#4 Günter Netzer
Although this German midfielder’s name isn’t one of the most talked about, Günter Netzer is still regarded in his home country as one of the greatest players ever and one of the best passers of the ball that the game has ever seen.
In a career marked by success achieved with West Germany, winning both the Euros and the World Cup in 1972 and 1974, Netzer also won two Bundesliga titles for Borussia Mönchengladbach against Franz Beckenbauer and Gerd Müller’s Bayern. This led to Real Madrid rushing to sign him as a response to Barcelona’s new signing, Johan Cruijff. Netzer would go on to win two league titles with Los Blancos.
