Former German football player and one of the greatest goalscorers in the history of the sport, Gerd Muller, has died at the age of 75, his former club Bayern Munich said on Sunday.
"Today the world of FC Bayern stands still. The German record champions and his entire fan base mourn Gerd Muller, who died early on Sunday morning at the age of 75".
Nicknamed "the nation's bomber", the world and European champion held the all-time goalscoring record in the World Cup for 32 years, with 14 goals, Sputnik news agency reported.
In total, he scored 68 times for the national side in just 62 matches. With Muller, the German team managed to win the 1972 UEFA European Football Championship and the 1974 FIFA World Cup.
