From: anonymous
Gerhard "Gerd" Müller, born 3 November 1945 in Nördlingen, is a former German football player and one of the most prolific goalscorers of all time. With national records of 68 goals in 62 international appearances, 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games and the international record of 66 goals in 74 European Club games, he was one of the most successful goalscorers of his era. Müller is now 8th on the list of all time international goalscorers despite playing fewer matches than every player in the top 15. His nicknames are "Bomber der Nation" (the nation's Bomber) and "kleines dickes Müller" (short fat Müller; this name was given to him by Cik Cajkovski, his first coach at Bayern Munich. Cajkovski was Yugoslavian and got the German declension wrong). In 1970 Müller was elected European Footballer of the Year after a successful season at Bayern Munich and scoring 10 goals at the 1970 World Cup. Müller held the all-time goal-scoring record in the tournament with a 14-goal total, a record that stood for 32 years until it was broken by Brazil's Ronaldo against Ghana in the Round of 16 of the 2006 World Cup. In 1999, he was voted ninth place in the European player of the Century election held by the IFFHS and he was voted thirteenth in the IFFHS' "World Player of the Century" election. His disputed most goals in a Calender Year( 85 goals in 1972)record has just been beaten in 2012 by Messi of Barcelona and Argentina.
