Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
1978, 1982, 1986 – those are the World Cups that Karl-Heinz Rummenigge played in. Although his best World Cup finishes are as runner-ups in 1982 and 1986. Although he had a hand in Germany’s win in the 1980 European Championship. The back-to-back Ballon d’Or award winner (1980-81) led Bayern Munich to the Champions League twice.
Lev Yashin
From 1954 to 1967, Lev Yashin made 78 appearances for the USSR. In fact, he is known as THE best goalkeeper in football history. ‘The Black Spider’ had impressive reflexes and was also one of the first keepers to be play as a defensive ‘sweeper’. In modern times, that tactic is pretty ever-present and that’s thanks to Yashin. Unfortunately he never went past the semifinals of the World Cup.
