Highlights

 

◆ In 2015, Bayern Munchen announced that the legend has Dementia.◆

◆ Just before his 75th birthday, his wife disclosed his present condition: heartbreaking for all the football lovers.◆

 

 

“'He eats next to nothing, can hardly swallow, lies in bed for almost 24 hours, and has only a few waking moments. It is so nice when he opens his eyes for a moment. He can sometimes signal yes and no with the blink of an eye. He has always been a fighter, has always been brave, all his life. He is now too. Gerd sleeps towards its end. He has closed his eyes, is dozing, only rarely opens his mouth, and is given pureed food. He is calm and peaceful, and I don't think he has to suffer either. He's slowly sleeping over.'” said Uschi Muller, his wife.
