Franz Beckenbaur has died

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

One of the greatest ever. Graceful, classy, he made the game look easy.
All my heroes are dying

I am still here for you

By the way, did you know that the word 'Kaiser' is cognate with 'Caesar', 'Tsar' and 'Czar'?
A 'Caesarian section' in German is known as 'Kaiserschnitt' (the 'shnitt' meaning 'cut' / 'incision').

Had a pair of Adidas Beckenbauer boots as a kid (the days when there were no more than a dozen pairs of boots to choose from).
Got 'em from Edwards Sports St John's Square.

I remember Stylo Matchmaker George Best boots at that time but not many others.

True legend of the game.

RIP Der Kaiser.
