Hans-Hubert “Berti” Vogts – The Record Man: “He’ll be something,” Hennes Weisweiler said when he introduced Berti Vogts to the German national team in 1967. At that point the defender had already been playing for Borussia for two years and was known as diligent, disciplined and — in modern language — entirely without swag. A hungry, hardworking young talent, exactly to Weisweiler’s taste. He was right.\n\nOver 14 years, Vogts made 419 Bundesliga appearances for the Foals, scored 33 goals, captained the team to UEFA Cup victories in 1975 and 1979, won five league titles and the DFB Cup.
Nicknamed the Terrier, he became famous for his biting, aggressive defending. Much later Stefan Raab would even dedicate a song to him before the 1994 World Cup.\n\nHis coaching record, despite winning Euro 1996, was mixed, and many of his quotes after his playing career inspired second-hand embarrassment.
