Gerd Müller

If you take in terms of him in the Bundesliga as a whole, so he had one season at Leipzig, it would only be Harry Kane and Robert Lewandowski who have scored more goals than him in the Bundesliga.

The two best strikers that arguably... outside of Gerd Muller the Bundesliga you've ever seen you can argue so you know that's the quality we're talking about he is the highest scoring foreign goal scorer now for Leverkusen as well in the Bundesliga after replacing Dimitar Berbatov at the top of that list and And for Leverkusen in particular, you know, when they won the league that season, 22-24, he got injured quite badly the season before, if you remember rightly.

And he went a long time without playing and a long time without scoring.

Yeah.

The previous record for reaching the century mark was 129 appearances held by Dieter Mohler, which stood for nearly 50 years.

A record made more impressive if you consider that in that time, goal scorers like Robert Lewandowski Gerd Muller and Jurgen Klinsmann graced Germany's pitches.

Kane's scoring exploits are nothing new.

He reached 280 goals during his time at Tottenham.

Dieter Müller, who... who was a great striker.

It's hard to be named Müller in Germany and not be in the shadow of Gerd Müller.

But Dieter Müller has also got another record.

He scored six goals in one game.

And also remember, this is just in terms of goal scoring.

Gerd Müller.

is an all-time striker okay is what is his interest If not for injuries, he's got the all-time.

His

Yeah, Harry Kane got to 100 goals.

It... 98 games that's unbelievable you know just to compare Dieter Müller who was the next fastest after 98 games had 65 goals even Gerd Müller only had 61 goals after 98 games and Robert Lewandowski 54 goals after 98 games for his first club and Yeah, I mean, the numbers, Kane's numbers are just wild.

I mean, even if you take away those 25 penalty goals.

Union Berlin, you know, someone asked before the match, is Luz Trinelli going to be in trouble following this result? considering that Union Berlin are going to be playing Bayern and I jokingly said they might fire him at halftime and the way the game went it wouldn't have been maybe a big shock if that was going to be the case I think Correct me if I'm wrong, but Lustre took some time at his previous clubs as well until the system that he implemented worked, right? And I think that is maybe the one defense in his name that he is a guy...

He comes into that team and scores enough goals to win Italy the World Cup.

And if you are part of this team and you are the player that they're going to rely on to win you the game, to break the deadlock, I think the statistics stand in itself because you can name Gerd Müller as an outright goalscorer, but who is naming Sandor Kocsis? And he was a player for sure.

But I think with someone like Puskas, though, at least he did play at the absolute top level in Europe.

I believe I did have to Google it.

That's exactly it.

That's all I'm judging it on.

If you're talking about like Gerd Müller, I think record score for Bayern Munich as well, for Germany, on the international stage where you are tested against the best to get four years undefeated and they would have played a lot of good teams until the final.

Yeah, I've got him as my first choice.

22nd October, 1971.

World's Army Fraction members, Irmgard Bowler and Gerhard Muller, they attempted to rescue their comrade, Lady Margaret Schiller.

She was in the process of being arrested by the police after shooting it out with them after she'd been identified as an RAF member.

A police sergeant named Heinz Lemke was shot and wounded.

The next is, the next is Roland Wohlfarth or Wohlfarth, Wohlfarth, who's got 156 in 332.

Then you get to Rummenigge, Ohlhauser, Thomas Müller, Lewandowski, and then Gerd Müller.

Gerd Müller, fucking hell, he's got 570 goals for Bayern.

[laughs]

I was gonna say, I wonder if there's a world where Ha- where, uh, Harry Kane tops their goalscoring list.

Yeah.

He can get...

That, that's Thomas Müller, not Gerd Müller.

But we've seen some of the greatest team in the world.

How much did, uh, did Cristiano Ronaldo track back? How much is Lionel Messi tracking back? How much was Gerd Müller in the '70s tracking back? I think that is, uh, I, I think this is a, it's, it's a bit also a populistic discussion, uh, because he's scoring the goals, he's the big stars and, okay, equals that all the problems at Real Madrid is Mbappé.

Frank?

Well, yeah, the, the, the thing is, uh, what I feel is, uh, Mbappé's in campaign.
