Nation : West Germany
Born : November 3, 1945
Height :175 cm
Position : Striker
Descriptions : hard to stopped in the penalty area, use his goalscoring instinct he could scores from narrow, despite lack of height he often beat the goalkeeper with his powerful header.
Rated as one of the greatest striker of all time, totally, during his 62 match contribution for West Germany he collected 68 goals.
Muller joined regional league outfit Bayern Munich in 1964 and helped transform them into a European force within three years. A record of 365 Bundesliga goals in addition to an average of more than one goal a game for his country speaks for itself.
Muller, nicknamed The Bomber, became the first German player to receive the European Footbler of the Year Award after scoring ten goals in the 1970 World Cup Finals. Two years later he netted twice in Germany's 3-0 European Championship Final victory over the USSR. His astounding strike rate continued throughout the following years as Bayern swept aside all opposition to win the European Cup on three consecutive occasions in the mid-seventies. His two goals in the 1974 Final and one a year later were typical of a man who continually rose to the big occasion. Never was there a better example of this than in the 1974 World Cup Final when Muller delighted the home fans with the winner against a Holland team containing stars such as Cruyff, Neeskens and Rep. Latching onto a pass from Bonhoff, he showed lightning reactions to hook the ball into the net for what proved to be his final and most important International goal.
