Franz Beckenbauer: My +10 team

Franz Beckenbauer, 'Der Kaiser', is someone who really needs no introduction.
Quite simply, anyone who knows anything about football will be well aware that Germany’s best-ever player, the game’s original ‘libero’, was one of the greatest footballers of all time; an iconic figure whose name has come to represent elegance, class and, above all, success.
After all, not only does Beckenbauer claim the unique distinction of having won the FIFA World Cup? both as player (1974) and manager (1990), he was also the first German player to break through the 100-cap barrier and his successes at club level were almost as remarkable, with three successive European Champion Clubs' Cup victories a testament to Bayern Munich's supremacy in the mid-1970s.
His success in masterminding West Germany's Italia 90 triumph victory was to be applauded, yet it will always be for his graceful and in many ways revolutionary playing style that Beckenbauer will be best, and most fondly, remembered.
"I was pretty much the first to interpret the (libero) position offensively, as an attacker, and not only stay back and play as a sweeper,” he has told FIFAworldcup.com. "Maybe that was just my game. By nature I was more of an attacking player than a defensive one. That's why I always pushed forward."
Whatever the reasons, the results were spectacular. Even among the current generation of players and supporters, none of whom were fortunate enough to watch the Kaiser in the flesh, instant respect is guaranteed, typified by David Beckham selecting Beckenbauer in his +10 team with the explanation: “He was immense on the pitch, just incredible.”
Franz Beckenbauer’s adidas +10 Team
Right, first of all, my +10 team would be comprised of players who are no longer active. There are so many great players, that’s why it's rather difficult to put a team like this together. I think I could come up with at least ten equally suited players for every single position, but I like to go with tradition and stick with real legends.

As my goalkeeper I'd have Lev Yashin, a true legend. Unfortunately he's no longer alive, but we all remember him and his brilliant saves.
Let's look at the defence. It's a 4-3-3 system, so let’s start with the right-back. There, I would have to pick Carlos Alberto, the Brazilian captain in 1970 and one of the best players I've ever seen. He was also my team-mate for five years at New York Cosmos.

In central defence would be England’s Bobby Moore, the FIFA World Cup-winning captain of '66 and, alongside him, it would have to be me.
My left-back would be Giacinto Facchetti , a fantastic player at Inter Milan, who was the first full-back to really attack from a defensive position, and who scored many goals in the process.

My central midfielders would be Bobby Charlton, the English legend, and Alfredo Di Stefano, who to me is one of the best players in the history of this sport.
Next to them, on the left, I would play Johan Cruyff. I'd then have George Best on the right because, in my opinion, there never has been anyone better on that side.

Finally, up front, I would have to pick Pele, the best player football has ever seen, and on the left I'd have Diego Maradona.
I think that's quite a formidable team I've put together there.
