RIP - your namesake.

They talked about his ability to play thru the injury. Very much a legendary player.

Franz, you outlived "The Kaiser".

I remember him somehow convincing the ref to talk to the linesman and ultimately disallowing a goal due to offside, even though the goal was clearly legit. 1975 UEFA Cup final between Leeds Utd. and Bayern Munich; Leeds clearly outplayed them and got robbed.

Oh wow I was just remembering him the other day when the legendary Mario Zagallo passed. Although not twins obviously they had some resemblance and it's crazy they passed days apart.

RIP
