Gerd Muller Biography / Football Career

Gerd Müller Career Goals, Trophies,  Stats and Awards

Only one striker has ever scored 40 goals in a Bundesliga season: Gerd Müller of Bayern Munich, who set the league record in 1972 and still holds it today. On seven times, he was the league’s leading scorer: 1967, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1973, 1974, and 1978. He was named European Footballer of the Year twice (1970, 1972), German Footballer of the Year twice (1967, 1969), and European Footballer of the Year once (1970).

Müller won all of these awards while playing for Bayern Munich. He joined the club in 1964 after beginning his career at Nördlingen, where he was born on November 3, 1945. While living at home, he earned an apprenticeship as a weaver.

Müller, on the other hand, has always loved and breathed football. With Munich, he broke into the big time, since the club and player were a great match. Coach Zlatko ‘Tschik’ Cajkovski was a proponent of a contemporary attacking style, and his’short, fat Müller,’ as the coach liked to refer to his pupil, was a goal-scoring machine.

And he took his craft to the pinnacle of excellence. His risk-taking style has been regarded as memorable, and a new verb, to müller, has now entered the English. Gerd Müller became synonymous with the perfect penalty-box striker, causing panic attacks in goalkeepers all over the world. He scored 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga appearances for Bayern, a record that no one in the world has been able to duplicate to this day. Bayern’s golden years at the end of the 1960s and early 1970s were primarily due to Muller’s goals.

The ‘Bomber’ won the Bundesliga four times with Bayern (1969, 1972-1974), the German Cup four times (1966, 1967, 1969, 1971), three European Cup winners’ medals (1974-1976), one Cup Winners’ Cup (1967), and the World Club Cup once with Bayern (1976). ‘We could still be living in the old wood shack if it hadn’t been for him!’ Franz Beckenbauer spoke highly of his teammate, who was always humble and honest.

Gerd Müller departed Munich in 1979 and spent his last season in the United States with the Fort Lauderdale Strikers, before calling it a day. In 1992, he returned to Bayern and has worked as a young and amateur coach ever since. He was always at his best in the penalty area, but Bayern is his real home.
