#8 Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
For ten years, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge was the lynchpin of the Bayern Munich attack. Between 1974 and 1984, the West Germany international played 310 Bundesliga games for Bayern, scoring 162 goals. He was a player who put the club before anything else. Rummenigge was truly adored by the fans.
As a Bayern Munich player, Rummenigge won the Bundesliga on two successive occasions in addition to lifting the European Cup in 1975 and 1976. He was also the Ballon d’Or winner in 1980 and ’81. In his later years at Bayern Munich, the forward, tasked with filling the void of Gerd Muller, was wanted by Italian giants Inter Milan.
As was the norm back then, playing in Italy was the pinnacle of a footballers career. Stars from all around the world wanted to play in the Serie A, while this trio was no different. Rummenigge joined Inter in 1984 for a then record fee of €5.5 million. And at the age of 28, the Europa ’80 winner left Bayern Munich in his peak.
His three years in Italy didn’t yield any silverware while injuries stalled his career. It’s a shame, because at Bayern Munich he won almost every accolade possible. At present, Rummenigge is Bayern Munich’s CEO, helping forge them into a European powerhouse.
