Former FC Bayern Munich and Germany icon Uli Hoeneß has expressed his gratitude at being added to the Hall of Fame of German football.
“It's a huge honour to be inducted into the German Football Hall of Fame," Hoeneß said in an in-house interview at Bayern.
"I'll never forget my time as a player – it was the best time of my life: the moment we won the European Cup for the first time with FC Bayern in 1974 – the world could have stopped for me!
"I'm incredibly grateful to football for everything it has given me, and it's always been important to me to give something back.
"When I look at FC Bayern today, I think our fans can be proud: successful on the pitch, financially stable, and extremely socially committed.
“FC Bayern is a home for many people and its influence extends far beyond the sports – in my opinion, that's at least as important as any title, especially in today's world,” he added.
