West German goal-scoring legend Gerd”the bomber” Muller said that his record of 40 Bundesliga goals in one season would never be broken.
He said ..”The record of 40 goals will never be beaten, I believe.Many people say that it was easier to score goals in my day, but that is wrong.With today’s defences containing four players, it is much easier for a centre-forward to score.In my day, there was a sweeper and a defender to worry about, I was always marked by two players.”
