Gerd Muller was the nugget center-forward hardly touched the ball in some matches but was on hand to slot the half chance. It was just such a goal in the '74 World Cup final. He knew where to be and how to punish. (That) skill is honed (and) becomes instinctive" When asked what went through his mind as the ball was at his feet that day. Gerd Muller commented that he just acted instinctively there was no thought process. Thinking, I suspect, is for defenders and midfielders. It is not the stuff of goal scorers - they act best on their instincts and reflexes.
