Dieter Müller

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dieter Müller (born Dieter Kaster on 1 April 1954) is a former German footballer that is currently chairman of Kickers Offenbach.

He appeared 12 matches and scored 9 goals for Germany national football team. He played in the 1976 European Football Championship and the 1978 FIFA World Cup. In his spell with 1. FC Köln he set a record for the most goals scored by a single player within one Bundesliga match. On August 17, 1977, he contributed six goals (scoring in the 12th, 23rd, 32nd, 52nd, 73rd and in the 85th minute) to Köln's 7-2 victory over Werder Bremen in front of a crowd of 19,000 at Köln's Müngersdorfer Stadion. He was crowned Bundesliga topscorer that season (24 goals in 33 games), just like the season before (34 goals in 34 appearances).

Son of Heinz Kaster, who played defender for FC St.Pauli Hamburg and Kickers Offenbach in the early 1950's, the striker had already been a schoolboy international when his stepfather's adoption turned his surname into Müller.
