Bernhard Cullmann

Bernhard Cullmann represents an era of football I genuinely admire. 341 Bundesliga appearances for a single club, 1. FC Köln, is a number that speaks of loyalty as much as durability, and that kind of one-club devotion has nearly vanished from the modern game. I like that he was versatile enough to play midfield and defence, and that he stayed in the sport as a coach rather than walking away. Retiring on health grounds in 1984 only underlines how much he gave physically. To me he is less a list of stats than a model of how to commit fully to a club and then pass the game on.
