Beckenbauer, Franz

(born Sept. 11, 1945, Munich, Ger.) German football (soccer) player. He is credited with inventing the modern attacking sweeper position.

He spent most of his career with Bayern Munich (1958–77), leading the team to three European Cup championships (1974–76) and four national titles. He was named European Footballer of the Year in 1972 and 1976. After brief stints in New York and Hamburg, he retired in 1984 and turned to managing.
