Der Kaiser, not only by name but by mind set. Controlled games from the back line to dictate the attack and compose his back line helped define the Libero. His legacy can be seen on how modern football is build from playing out the back. He evolved how a Full back should play & I’m only talking about his on field qualities but his off field achievements as an administrator and coach really show the man he was, he knew how to run the show and if “Der Kaiser was in the building, you listen”.
