R.I.P. " Der Kaiser " - German Legend Franz Beckenbauer Passes Away Aged 78 Years

Sad news. One who would be classified as legendary in all sporting circles.

We've also just lost JPR Williams, one of the great names in the oval ball game and undoubtedly a legend in his home country of Wales.

I actually backed West Germany to win the 1966 World Cup, with my Father
putting the bet on for me, after we saw the demolition of Switzerland 5-0 by
West Germany.
I was 15 years old at the time, going in pub, but could not go in bookmakers.
