Gerd Müller

14 World Cup goals. 1974 champion and final winner. Der Bomber.

Gerd Müller scored 14 World Cup goals across 1970 and 1974, including the winner in the 1974 final against the Netherlands. His tournament record of 14 goals held until Ronaldo surpassed it in 2006. His instinct in the six-yard box was so reliable that teammates called him "Der Bomber" — he barely needed more than a yard of space.
