Dieter Müller (born April 1, 1954 in Offenbach am Main as Dieter Kaster ) is a former German soccer player and twelve-time national player . He was President of Kickers Offenbach for twelve years . Today he runs a football school.

Club career

Dieter Müller grew up in Dreieich-Götzenhain in Hessen . He played a total of 303 Bundesliga games for the clubs Kickers Offenbach , 1. FC Cologne , VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Saarbrücken and scored 177 goals. This puts him in 9th place on the list of the most successful goal scorers .

The then youth national player began his professional career in the 1972/73 season with Kickers Offenbach under his maiden name Dieter Kaster (father Heinz Kaster played for Eintracht Frankfurt , among others ). It was only after moving to 1. FC Köln in 1973 that he took over the surname of his adoptive father and called himself Dieter Müller.

With 1. FC Köln, Dieter Müller was German champion in 1978 and DFB cup winner in 1977 and 1978 . He was also the top scorer of the DFB Cup twice, setting Ernst Willimowski's record of 14 goals in one event in 1977 and again top scorer with 8 goals a year later. Outstanding were his six goals on August 17, 1977 in the 7-2 victory in the Bundesliga match against Werder Bremen , a record that is still valid today. Because of this achievement, he was named Cologne's striker of the century by the readers of the Kölner Express .

In 1977 and 1978 he was the top scorer in the Bundesliga .

After an interlude at VfB Stuttgart in the 1981-82 season, Müller moved to France to Girondins Bordeaux . There he played with players like Tigana and Giresse and won the championship title twice ( 1984 and 1985 ). He is one of the few German footballers who have scored more than 200 first division goals.

In the history of the UEFA Cup , Müller is the third most successful scorer with 29 goals together with Jupp Heynckes ( Borussia Mönchengladbach ) behind Henrik Larsson ( Celtic Glasgow , Helsingborgs IF ) with 40 goals and Waldo ( FC Valencia ) with 31 goals.

National team

Of Müller's appearances in the national team, those games during the European Football Championship in 1976 , when he became the top scorer as a debutant and made a significant contribution to the DFB team moving into the final, are remembered. Müller was substituted on in his first international match against Yugoslavia in the 79th minute when the score was 1: 2. He scored three more goals in the game and Germany won 4-2 after extra time.

He completed - presumably because of differences of opinion with the then national coach Helmut Schön - a total of only twelve international matches . Nevertheless, he took part in the Football World Cup in Argentina in 1978 , as Schön could hardly do without the top scorer in the Bundesliga. There he scored two goals against Mexico and the Netherlands. His last international match was the defeat that went down in history as the shame of Cordoba in the last World Cup game against Austria.

Private

Mueller's son died in 1997 at the age of 16 years to cancer .

On September 30, 2012, Dieter Müller suffered a heart attack and was temporarily in a coma . As a result, he was given a pacemaker, quit smoking, and changed his diet.
