RIP Franz. It was such a pleasure to watch you play football. We have lost one of the greats, as a person and as a footballer.

One of my heroes growing up. When I was a youngster my dad found out that the West German team were staying in Welwyn Garden City near London, ahead of their quarter-final match against England in Euro 72, then know as the Henri Delaunay Cup.
After school we drove up there and Franz and the team had just come back from a training session. My dad spoke with Der Kaiser, as he was known, and, I'll never forget this, he took me round to introduce to me to every player in the team who then autographed a huge poster I had made of the team with a photo of them in the middle.
A true gentleman that earned the respect of every footballer. R.I.P. dear Franz - you were one of the greatest footballers of all time.
Disrespectful.. and why do you need the autograph of a Dummschwätzer?Quote

Beckenbauer was surely a great footballer but rather a Dummschwätzer (German for a person who talks without thinking) than a great person - even when he talked about football.

PS: I once met him in person. Must have been in the early/mid 80s when I was in my early teens. He was nice and charming and I got his autograph.

I had a similar experience in the 80s at the Sportschule Hennef. The German team stayed there and a friend of mine asked me to come with him. I was not very much interested in soccer. He had a few black and white press photographs of Franz in the late 60s because his uncle worked for a lokal newspaper. When we met Franz he shook our hands, lokked at the photographs and told us "Ah, this was at the stadium in ... on ..." He remembered everything. Then he asked us if we would like to take some pictures with our most liked players and they came and made some funny faces or tricks with the ball. That's what I remember, a very friendly, down to earth man with great charisma. If you have met him, you know what I mean.

Wann trifft Dich endlich der Schlag während Du Deine Scheiße hier schreibst. Zum Tod von Franz so einen verfickten Mist zu schreiben, Spätestens jetzt wüßte ich gerne wo Du wohnst. Deine 100te von mega-negativen Posts zu den Stones waren schon Folter. Aber am Todestag so etwas zu schreiben zeigt klar: Dir geht es nur darum, hier Leute zu verletzten. Stones-Fans. Beckenbauer-Fans. Alle. Und Du kannst das alles machen weil Du hier feige und anonym als verbaler Heckenschütze agieren kannst. Wären wir hier alle in einem Raum hätte man Dich längst aus dem Saal katapultiert. Per Arschtritt.
