The Bayern Munich legend is arguably the greatest poacher in history, as his knack for showing up at the right place at the right time culminated into a glut of goals over the course of an illustrious career.

Muller's best scoring streak though, lasted 16 games in the 1969/70 season of Bundesliga. The Bavarian hitman's strike in the 4-0 defeat of Eintracht Braunschweig in September sparked an incredible run that also saw him bag all four efforts against Werder Bremen along the way.

Muller took apart every defense that befell his path before 1860 Munich successively shut him out to end the searing spell in March after 26 goals. Der Bomber eventually finished the campaign with 38 goals - an astonishing 18 more than anybody else, to claim the domestic Golden Boot in style.
