Gerhard Gerd Müller (born November 3, 1945 in Nördlingen, West Germany) is a retired (West) German association football (soccer) striker, nicknamed "Bomber der Nation" ("The Nation's Bomber") for his astounding career as a goal scorer. Müller holds the national goal-scoring record for Germany, with 68 goals in 62 international appearances. He also scored 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga matches, and holds a record of 66 goals in 74 European Club appearances. Between 1974 and 2006 Müller also held the record for most goals scored in World Cup games.

With national records of 68 goals in 62 international appearances and 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga games, he was by far the most successful striker of his day and perhaps of football's history.
