I dont get this, why is nearly every single leading scorer from the new era?
Why is it never like „yeah he played in the 70s and is leading scorer off xyz“
You can check that, i am not talking bs, its hard to find a leading scorer that was in his prime between 1970-90
Why?
And Müller is still the overall top scorer in the Bundesliga (365 goals). In fact, eight of the top ten overall scorer’s in Bundesliga history are not from the modern day era. Only Lewandowski (2nd, 312 goals) and Claudio Pizarro (6th 197 goals) are.
That might also be impacted by great talents going abroad and not spending their entire careers in Germany anymore. You’d assume if Haaland spent his entire career in Germany he’d break into that top ten.
This, and players tend not to stay at one club any more. There’s a lot more moving about in general
Gerd Müller was an absolute beast though. Underrated as hell tbh
Underrated? Universally recognised as an all time great goal scorer
Gerd made a great boot…….one of the best soccer boots ever.
The Copa? Can’t get them in California :(
Gerd Mueller Specials by Adidas……classic design. It was Sambas and Gerd Mueller specials……
literally has an award named after him which is given every year I don’t think he’s underrated
Agree.
I’m just to young to have seen Müller play but I remember people talking about him with awe when I started being properly aware of football and his record seemed (and still seem) just ridiculous
Who? Who is underrating Der Bomber?
