He was an incredible right-back, in an age when a full-back was not just a winger with a deep starting position, but actually capable of defending.

It is a tribute to his footballing ability and intelligence that he was equally at home on the left flank.

Excellent technique, on either foot.

Not his strongest suit, but he was still very good going forward, able to cross with either foot.

An excellent defender, one of the best in an era where defenders could defend well.

The best of an era, which is why he was so instrumental for Bayern Munich and Germany, no matter what position he was playing.

May have actually performed better at left-back. He was a ever-reliable performer.

Superb technique, with an excellent long-range strike on him.

Very good at attacking, but he was more of an old school full-back, who supported attacks rather than was the focal point for them.

One of the last full-backs who could defend.
