I wasn't born to see Mueller. And my knowledge on him is kinda weak compared to other old time greats. But from what I have seen in highlights from old World Cups, the man has a sick feeling for scoring goals. Perhaps not a very graceful footballer, but more of an Inzaghi (only better) of his time. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
Stats for you:
14 WC goals, only surpassed by Ronaldo, who played in half the world cups, I belive. '70 and '74 vs '98, '02 and '06, and Ronaldo had 15.

1964-1979 FC Bayern Munich 453 (398)
Deutsche Nationalmannschaft:
62 (68)
Here, this is from Wiki:
"A supremely opportunistic goal-scorer, he also became German top scorer seven times and European top scorer twice. Müller scored 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich, almost 100 goals more than the second most successful Bundesliga scorer, Klaus Fischer. He holds the single-season Bundesliga record with 40 Goals in season 1971/72. He scored 78 goals in 62 German Cup games. His 66 goals in his 74 appearances at European cups are still a record. He is also one of the very few players of 50 or more caps to score more goals than he has games played. Not even Pelé can claim this distinction."
Those 40 goals in a season....the most I've seen by any player since I started really watching was 23 or so by Elber.
