[edit] Is he unique or not?

"he is the only player to have won the World Cup and the European Championships both as a captain and a coach (Brazil's former striker Zagallo has also coached his country to the cup, but he never captained his side)."

But later the article says he is the only person to have done this. Needs clarifying, in the english version at least

the photo is not franz beckenbauer. sorry, i made a mistake, it is franz.

I feel he is quite unique; his drive has been football during his whole life, and he is the first player to have won the World Cup as player and coach for his own country (which marks the difference with the brazillian Zagallo)

"he is the only player to have won the World Cup and the European Championships both as a captain and a coach (Brazil's former striker Zagallo has also coached his country to the cup, but he never captained his side)."

While he has won the European Championships as a captain in 1972, he has never won them as a coach. In his only attempt, the West German team was ousted by the Netherlands in the semifinals in 1988.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:A9 1 b.jpg

Image:A9 1 b.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
