There were 6 players, who're considered the very best German players of all times. Beckenbauer is the fourth of them to have died. His death was expectable, though, since only serious illness was a possible explanation for the silence around him, in the last time. This impression was reinforced by his appearence during his last public occurences.

RIP

I was just reading about his poor health only the other day. But the news that he has died today is very sad. Beckenbauer was a World Cup winner both as a player and as a manager. He was a true legend and arguably the best ever German footballer.

R.I.P. Franz Beckenbauer

Gerd Muller, Fritz Walter, Uwe Seeler, Rummenigge are 4 of them (3 now gone). I assume?

Was listening to the Monday Night Club on BBC earlier and one of them mentioned how if a defender brought the ball out of defence in the 70s and 80s someone would always ask 'who does he think he is, Franz Beckenbauer?' It's true, I grew up playing football in the 90s but remember that saying from managers or dads at football even then 

RIP

Almost!🙂 Fritz Walter, Gerd Müller, Uwe Seeler, and Franz Beckenbauer gone. Günter Netzer, and Lotthar Matthäus still alive.
