A true legend and one of the greatest goalscorers the game has ever seen. To Franz, Gerd was far more than a teammate - he was a lifelong friend. As Franz once said: “𝘞𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴.” ❤️

Today, we celebrate the legacy of Pelé, who would have turned 86.🎂👑 Some friendships go far beyond the game. Franz and @Pele shared an extraordinary journey, united by their love for football, their unforgettable careers, and a mutual respect that transcended borders and generations. For Franz, Pelé was not only a remarkable footballer, but also a dear friend whose character, humility, and warmth made him just as special off the pitch as he was on it. ⚽️❤️ From Brazil to the world, Pelé inspired millions and helped make football a universal language. His influence reaches far beyond the records he set and the trophies he lifted - it lives on in every generation that continues to fall in love with the beautiful game. 🌍 Forever a champion. Forever a friend. Forever remembered. 🕊️ 📸: (Archive image: Imago©️)
