#10 Philipp Lahm
Trending
What a shame for football fans generally that in just a few short weeks, Philipp Lahm will be hanging up his boots for good. A player that has been an example for everyone to follow throughout his career and the most deserving of Bayern Munich captains.
Still only 33, Lahm has been a mainstay of the Bavarian side ever since he burst onto the scene on November 13, 2002, just two days after his 19th birthday. He’d already been the captain of the Bayern reserve side and his coach at that stage of his career, Hermann Gerland, suggested that he was the most talented player he had ever coached.
Pep Guardiola in early 2017 stopped short of comparing Lahm with Lionel Messi but noted that the German had everything he loved, both professionally and as a person.
He will be sorely missed.
