BERLIN: Gerd Muller remains one of Germany's best strikers of all time, even after Robert Lewandowski on Saturday equalled his Bundesliga record of 40 goals in 1971/72, which many thought would never be matched.
Gerd Muller would not hold it against Lewandowski for breaking her husband's record, Uschi Muller is"one hundred per cent sure" of that."Quite the opposite: he would be the first to offer congratulations, to say: 'Well done, boy. You did well'."Despite his poor health, Muller remains a German football icon and earned the nickname"The Bomber" for his goals having scored 68 times in 62 internationals for West Germany.
"In my eyes, he is the most important player in the history of Bayern Munich," said former team-mate Franz Beckenbauer.AdvertisementMuller's goals helped West Germany win the 1974 World Cup final and the European Championship final two years earlier. With Bayern, Muller was a three-time winner of the European Cup in 1974, 1975 and 1976, the forerunner of the Champions League.
