In history, he stands tall,
The German sniper, he is called by all.
For his team, was an integral component
Winning everything, created his perfect moments.

Always in his prime,
His footballing style aged like fine wine.
With poise and sagacity, he dictates the ball,
A maestro’s touch, cherished by all.

As an idol you appear,
Cheers for a great career.
This is a final tribute,
As you hang your boots.
