Franz Beckenbauer RIP
Still to this day, if there's a ball playing CB that drives out the ball, even though he stopped playing 40yrs ago, he is the reference!
World Cup Winner as Player & Manager and Multiple European Cups & a Euros... decent pler.

True Great
Franz Beckenbauer unquestionably makes it into an all-time XI.
That’s how good, and influential in changing the way centre-backs played, he was.
RIP to one of the true greats.
