If you have been given the nickname Der Kaiser (the Emperor) by your fellow pros and the media, you know you’re a good player. Beckenbauer was praised for his elegant style of play while dominating the opposition and fearlessly leading his team. The German defender went to three World Cups between 1966 and 1974. He won the tournament with Germany in 1974 and would win the second of his Ballon d’Or awards two years later in 1976.
