My Take
Paul Breitner strikes me as one of football's true originals. Born in Kolbermoor, Bavaria, he excelled as both an attacking left-back and a midfielder, won the 1974 World Cup, and earned a place in FIFA's World Cup All-Time Team. German Footballer of the Year in 1981 and a Hall of Famer in 2018, he was just as famous for his afro and his refusal to soften his opinions. That he also tried his hand at acting only confirms how large a personality he carried. I am captivated by people who stay defiantly themselves on the pitch and off it, and Breitner is exactly that kind of legend worth retelling.
