Germ Muller then and now…
Bayern Munich have confirmed reports that their former striker Gerd Müller, who was Germany’s all-time leading goalscorer until Miroslav Klose broke his record at the 2014 World Cup, has Alzheimer’s.
A month before his 70th birthday, Bayern published a statement on their website confirming that Müller is receiving treatment for the illness and that no official celebrations will therefore be held.
The statement read: “For a long time Gerd Müller has unfortunately been very ill; he suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.”
