Miguel Sanchez Posted January 14 Author Share Posted January 14 Week 2 update One death this week, Franz Beckenbauer: Franz Beckenbauer, World Cup-winning captain and manager, dies aged 78 | Franz Beckenbauer | The Guardian Quote Tributes have been paid to Franz Beckenbauer, widely regarded as one of the finest footballers of all time, and one of only three men to have won the World Cup as a player and manager, following his death at the age of 78. Beckenbauer is an icon of German football having won 104 caps for West Germany, captaining them to glory at the 1974 World Cup before repeating the feat, as manager, in Italy 16 years later. He also won numerous other honours, including a hat-trick of European Cups with Bayern Munich in the mid-70s, when he also established his reputation as a defender of supreme talents, so much so that he became widely known as Der Kaiser. The full obituary on the Guardian's site is also worth reading: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2024/jan/08/franz-beckenbauer-obituary I always enjoy pictures of old footballers, so here's one: It's not every day in the Dead Pool we have a country's undisputed best ever player featured, so whether you're old or like me you were born well after his playing days, it's worth doing some reading to see just how much he changed the way the game is played. There are names in football which are ubiquitous in that they're a byword for stature, reputation, style, whatever. Beckenbauer is that for most of the defensive half of the pitch. I don't know that a single individual can be as influential in football culture as that any more. Beckenbauer died at 78 so he's worth 47 Base Points for @parxyz, @psv_killie and @The_Craig, with @D Angelo Barksdale getting a Vice-Captain bonus for a total of 71 points. As a result, the standings look like this: 1. mozam76 189 2. lolls, Moomintroll, pub car king, Salvo Montalbano 163 6. psv_killie, The_Craig 141 8. cdhafc1874, lichtgilphead 129 10. amnarab, Arch Stanton, Ned Nederlander, sparky88, The DA, The Naitch, ThomCat 94 17. D Angelo Barksdale 71 18. Florentine_Pogen, tamthebam 58 20. parxyz 47 21. sleazy, stanton, Sweaty Morph 25 24.

And he refereed Bayern to a European Cup win over dirty Leeds so he gets extra credit in this hombre's view. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
