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.
