8 Gerd Müller (West Germany)
World Cups 1970, 1974
Appearances 13
Goals 14
The national manager Helmut Schön once described Müller as a “man of the little goals”. “Der Bomber”, blessed with thighs the size of boulders, scored from all angles and with all parts of his body (including his back-side) but mostly from close range. His winning goal in the World Cup final against Holland in 1974 (2-1) summed up his unique talent: after a first touch that was one part mis-control, one part clever dummy, he dragged the ball through the legs of the defender to become then the most prolific striker in the history of the competition. His 14 World Cup goals have been equalled by Miroslav Klose and only bettered by Ronaldo’s 15.
