[edit] Muller's total number of goals

I have a found a print source that puts Gerd's total number of goals in professional football at over 1000, it has every game, game result and date listed.

[edit] Kleines Dickes Müller?

Is this nickname really widespread enough to be in the opening paragraph? I must have watched dozens of football matches featuring Gerd Müller, back when I was growing up in Germany, and I cannot recall this nickname ever being used. (As opposed to "Bomber der Nation", which was very widely used.)--24.82.175.172 22:10, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

This nickname was given to Müller by his coach Zlatko Čajkovski--ARN, 2 September 2006

But it´s a real nickname, Bomber der Nation ist only more popular! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.15.197.213 (talk) 18:30, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm way too young to ever have seen a match with Gerd Müller, but EVEN I know this nickname. Everybody in Germany knows it. It's kind of an aphorism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.11.13.95 (talk) 11:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

It´s a real nickname. Ask some (german) people, you will discover that "kleines dickes Müller" is a normal nickname für him. --91.15.254.159 (talk) 14:46, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ronaldo

"...when it was broken by Brazil's Ronaldo on June 27, 2006 playing against Ghana Republic Team, who has played in four World Cups and scored in three."

The four World Cups being 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2006. But in the 1994 Cup (held in the USA) he never played -- he stayed in the bench all games. Shouldn't it read "played and scored in three World Cups"? JCCyC 22:11, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Der Bomber

I changed the opening sentence with Gerd "Der Bomber" Müller because he is known by this alias, and because his full name is already listed to the right. This is good for those who wish to know his nick name and full name (for full name they just glance on the list to the right).

[edit] Possible Incorrect Dates

There are a few possible discrepencies with dates in this article. In the book "Gary Lineker's Golden Boots" (Hodder&Stoughton 1998, ISBN 0340708468) Müller himself comments that he joined TSV Nordlingen ages 14 - that would make it 1959 or 1960 at the latest. Furthermore he says he was signed for FC Bayern Munich in 1963 (late in the year) --Timetrial (talk) 14:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
