Sad to hear of the death of two legends Franz Beckenbaur one of the greatest soccer players ever.
JPR Williams one of the greatest rugby players of all time..
 
Jawohl, Franz Beckenbauer der Kaiser war.

Not so sure about John Williams. Always a bit of a thug on the field. I wasn't surprised the Kiwis hoofed him in Cardiff. Cynical stiff-arm tackle on C.I.M.H. Gibson also stands out.
He was one of only two tour members - the other being then geriatrician Ken Kennedy - who were doctors and upon whose shoulders fell the burden of injury treatment. By all accounts JPR laughed off most requests for help - save only to suggest a stiff gin and tonic.
 
Der Kaiser , truly majestic .
It was said of him that he wasn’t the quickest from A to B but then again he didn’t start start from A .
