    Packy, that category is locked now. If he can fit in another then go for it.

    (For our last picks all categories are available again if you want to wait til then for Cesar)

    I don't mind if you introduce something else entirely, but only if it's not as difficult. Otherwise, just change the parameters.

    I'll think of something good to introduce once we've got to the end of this round of picks, as long as nobody objects.

    Paul Breitner (1)



    Career span 1970-83
    Country West Germany: 48 caps, 10 goals
    Clubs Bayern München, Real Madrid, Bayern München
    Position left-back, midfielder
    Medals 1 World Cup, 1 European Championship, 1 European Cup, 7 domestic titles (5 Germany, 2 Spain), 3 domestic cups (2 Germany, 1 Spain)

    Paul Breitner sat on his bed, bag packed, fully prepared to take a remarkable step.

    As the 1974 West German squad threatened to rip itself apart over team authority and bonus payments, the disgusted manager Helmut Schoen had specifically named Breitner as a ringleader. And all of Gunter Netzer, Wolfgang Overath, Gerd Muller and Uli Hoeness were now trying to talk the tempestuous young left-back around.

    In the end, a kind of peace restored. And, for the Germans, it was just as well.

    Because, in the 25th minute of the final, Breitner was prepared to take another remarkable step that no-one else would. Although Bernd Holzenbein had gone over in the box to give the Germans a lifeline against the dominant Dutch, they had no set penalty-taker. Gerd Muller had missed a few in the Bundesliga while many other key figures were reluctant.

    So Breitner, then just 22, assumed the responsibility. He scored and the equaliser, as the left-back has put it himself, “activated a turbo in our team”.

    The contrasting vignettes are typical of Breitner: a notoriously liberal free spirit who was still blessed with the individualist will and determination of a born winner. Not to mention an awful lot of technical quality. Strong, fluid and with a fulminating strike, Breitner later adapted his game to become an influential central midfielder.

    All of that character and quality ensured that, for all his contradictions, Breitner was a cornerstone of a series of overachieving sides: Real Madrid of the late ’70s, Bayern of the mid ’70s, West Germany 1972-74 and 1982. And, in each team, he always stepped up.
