Breitner as a referee :lol:
I haven't seen this one before. He would've been a perfect side-kick for Pierluigi Collina.

Brilliant!

Pretty good unpicked player on the left there too (the guy wearing a suit - he was well retired by then).

Some kind of charity match, I think, from the 70s. Uwe looks great. And - of course - Jägermeister shirts.

Yeah, that's a charity match from 1977. Not sure if they'd played (looks unlikely going by the suit), but all the main guys from 1954 were there as well.

Nobody has my pick, including me.

Exercise in futility in trying to pick players who will be seen as an 'upgrade' on Baresi, Maldini, Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten. :lol:

Yep, seems so. There's footage of other '54 players beside Seeler and *UNPICKED* from the same match - as in, others are actually playing (with serious beer bellies!), not just standing around wearing suits.

Unclear what the actual occasion was, though: The team involved here is Eintracht Braunschweig - famous for one thing in particular: they signed a sponsorship deal with Jägermeister in the early 1970s, and sported said booze producer's logo on their shirts. Which set a precedent - you could say. Pretty soon everyone was doing it - and still does it today.

The team was pretty good, actually, back in the day. They finished above Bayern Munich in the BL on several occasions during the 1970s. And they had Paul Breitner on their books for a short spell which coincides with this charity match: Breitner was an Eintracht Braunschweig player at the time - but acted as a referee for this charity match, whereas several '54 legends played for the team itself. Who the opposition was - I have no idea.

Is @Balu around these days? He might know more about this.

ETA Oh - and their manager at the time wasn't just any other mug either.
