    Absolute legend of the game. When I first started watching football he was one of the players you heard about regularly and that was before the days of the saturation of football. Sorley missed by the footballing community - RIP

    Decided on his own that 2-0 to us was enough in the 1970 semi final.

    So he set about starting to beat us.

    Who doesn't like a centre half that runs it out of defence if he can?

    Colossus of a footballer.

    I think losing Gordon Banks with illness before game and poor substitutions from Ramsey cost us game as much as anything and if I recall correctly it was quarter final mate

    Yeah probably was quarter final, and Bonetti didn't perform too well.

    Given that it was 53 years ago, and going from memory, I hope at least I'm right in thinking that The Kaiser got the ball at 2-0 down and just strolled along among and through us imperiously before stroking it away.

    I saw Beckenbauer in the flesh on 9th August 1973. He was playing for Bayern at Schalke in a crazy 5-5 draw. Schalke took a 3-0 lead and led 5-2 at half-time. Then Bayern woke up and scored 3 without reply in the second half. 4 goals in total for another Bayern legend - Gerd Müller.

    A top player and man historically inter twinned with Germany even though its along time gone Gordon Banks absence with food poisoning was key for England,

    Shame for that England side, which many thought was better and had more style than the 1966 World Cup winning side.

    I loved Franz's reaction in the '74 World cup final.
    Jack Taylor gave a penalty to Holland in the first minute, and he negatively waved at it, saying "pahh, your an English man Taylor!!". (or words to that effect). :rolleyes:

    What could we do now ehh as a club, with a quality centre back like Franz was.

    Ohh as many as 24 games ehh lol.
    We'd sell him to Luton obviously, close to midnight on the last night of the window, with no replacement lined up etc.. sound familiar. :p
