Beckenbauer died, just days after Mario Zagallo died. Two of three men to have won world cup as player and manager. I bet Didier Deschamps is being careful about what he does for the next week or so.
All three giants of the game though Beckenbauer reputation tarnished by his involvement in Germany's successful bid for 2006 world cup. |  | | |  |

One of the only downsides to England's World Cup triumph in 66 was that two of the best players in the tournament, Charlton and Beckenbauer, effectively marked each other out of the game
Both had made outstanding contributions up to that point, and Ramsey had ordered Charlton to keep an eye on the younger German, something he'd never been asked to do in his career before. Turns out Beckenbauer had similar instructions. He got his revenge in 1970 |  |

rhe 1970 QF saw Charlton controlling the game and England in front. Ramsay decided to take off Charlton in second half to rest his legs for the semi final and brought on Colin Bell. Beckenbauer started to play and turned the game on its head. It was all downhill for Ramsay from that point on. | | | |
