TheGunnShow 5,985 Posted August 16, 2021 The thread on Gerd Müller and his recent death instantly made me think of less renowned players in that famous Bayern Munich and West Germany side who still more than played their part. Indeed I mentioned Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck in it and decided to have a little search around. Did better than that. Found these eleven articles about players of quite considerable talent and renown whose names have somewhat been missed.

Mr Angry 1,570 Posted August 16, 2021 Can't imagine ever Tardelli being forgotten to be honest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was a Masopust playing for the Czech Republic in the Euros but he doesn't seem to be related to Josef. Kubala was a great player.

There was a Masopust playing for the Czech Republic in the Euros but he doesn't seem to be related to Josef. Kubala was a great player. Blankenburg was completely new to me, the two that surprised me in here were Tardelli and Gento. Some of the others were classic "in great teams but not star turns" sorts. Masopust, Zamora and Sindelar were three I knew of, but not too much about, which struck me as the focus of such a team. I'd argue there's more room for Massimo Bonini in that team, but you could argue he was San Marino's star player and got certain notoriety for that when combined with his own record for Juventus.
