Fritz Walter - Germanys Post-War Hero! He captained the side that won the first ever World Cup for Germany in 1954. It was known as the Miracle of Berne because they defeated the Hungarian side that seemed unbeatable. Hungary was Olympic champion in 1952, went 4 years without losing and crushed the same German side 8-3 two weeks prior. No one gave Germany a chance, especially when they had to come from 2 goals down in the final to win 3-2. This never give up mentality would mould subsequent German sides.
