GERD MÜLLER – 20 OCTOBER 1976 ( AND 15 NOVEMBER 1972 FOR GERMANY )
Watch the goal
“ Sadly I , Uli Hoeneß , have to speak here on behalf of our beloved Gerd , who left us in August 2021 and who we will carry in our hearts for eternity . And I ’ m afraid I also have to make a confession : I don ’ t remember Gerd ’ s goal against Baník Ostrava in the autumn of 1976 that well – personally I would rather have chosen his lob to make it 3-0 in the 1974 European Cup final against Atlético Madrid as the ’ Goal of the Year ’, as that was a magnificent goal which I ’ ll never forget . We struggled in that second round first leg in Ostrava . We were already 2-0 down after 30 minutes and went home with a 2-1 defeat . Gerd ’ s header after a cross from the right was wonderful . The ball was too high for me but he was always in the right place – he just had that unmatched instinct . The ball sailed into the corner , but we couldn ’ t profit from it . We won 5-0 in the second leg . Gerd was of course on the scoresheet again , twice in fact . I think about him often . He was a terrific teammate , and the world will never see another striker like him . Gerd scored from every position ; you could never let him out of your sight . FC Bayern would never be where it is today without him . His many , many goals included countless ones that would also have deserved to be voted ‘ Goal of the Year ’. Dear Gerd : you will always be a defining part of FC Bayern ! Thank you for everything ! Your Uli .”
