Quote from Wikipedia-Article Gerd Müller (German Version):
"Insgesamt erzielte Gerd Müller in Pflicht- und Freundschaftsspielen 1455 dokumentierte Tore in 1204 Spielen (1,21 Tore/Spiel)."
Translation: Over all Gerd Müller scored 1455 recorded goals in 1204 competition and friendly matches respectively (1,21 goals average).
That is really astonishing and unmatched in football history I guess.
Van Basten, Totti and Del Piero was better of Ronaldo, Rummenigge and Romario

I was there in 1981. Fan of Haarlem with my parents, uncle and other Haarlem believers.
It was magic. Just everybody in the stadium was on their feet for this goal by JC.

1455 goals. Period. And the intention of a football match is to score one goal more than the other team does, at least. That doesn't mean that he is the best player of all time.
He was certainly the first footballing celebrity. Dancing amoungst the audience whilst the Stones mime to The Last Time on TOTP, being dubbed 'El Beatle', night clubs and Carnaby Street. He was a pop-star as well as an exciting footballer. Sadly, it was the trappings of fame and fandom that led him down that dark path.
Not as colorful as O.J. ???...
Fame and fandom did not leave George down the dark path...alcoholism did ???
He never did that. The most modest guy in football history and of course the best scorer.

He did the job that he was supposed to do and did it very well.
564 goals in 605 matches for Bayern Munich.
Yes, and unfortunately he scored again yesterday, against my favorite team.
...My kinda list, Dandeee... thumbs up!
P.S.: you a Liverpool-man? I was in the Kop, last weekend, watching the derby... pretty poor result; though it's fair to say a draw was imminent, when seeing the line-up - and how the game evolved/ proceeded.
The referee must have smoked something seriously bad..
And, Mané, why didn't you pass the ball???
He never had the stage on which to prove it ...but I've no doubt that he would have.
Talk about your favorite band.

Best 4 in order of who I seen play in the flesh would be 1 - Paul Gascoigne 2 - Peter Beardsley 3 - Kevin Keegan 4 - Jurgen Klinnsman
But, but, Klinsmann never played for Newcastle!

The best goal scorer - and that's what soccer is about - of course was Gerd Muller.
I hate to admit it, but Ronaldo is getting there, at least for his club team...

did gerd muller park his butt in the penalty box and watch his teammates do all the hard graft and creativity only to score from 3 yards past an already beaten goalie then take all the credit for himself then run to the corner flag, puff his chest out and declare himself the king.

Yes, those dribbles by Maradona and Messi are spectacular. But I don’t think they are nearly as inventive and genius as what Cruijff did.

My favourite players (It doesn't mean that they were the best, though):
1. Steven Gerard (Football royalty)
2. Kenny Dalglish (The best ever)
3. Kevin Keegan (The mighty mouse. What a player!)
4. Diego Armando Maradona (No one could do what he did)
5. Lionel Messi (No one can do what he does)
6. Mohamed Salah (Always dangerous)
7. Johan Cruyff (A forerunner, a pioneer, a football entrepreneur!)
8. Socrates (He made football art)
9. Erik Mykland (In the mid-90s, Norway was ranked #2 in the world, and this guy was having a ball as a central midfielder, on an otherwise kinda grey norwegian team - a bit like Modric, but also with defensive qualities)
10. Rune Bratseth (Norway's best full back ever. Also the best full back in the Bundesliga)
11. George Best (Wow, just wow!)
The bench:
12. Steve Heighway (the best sub ever)
13. Zinedine Zidane (He had everything - even a temper...)
14. Cristiano Ronaldo (Can't stand the guy, but he scores, he scores...)
Yes, and unfortunately he scored again yesterday, against my favorite team.
