Reunion : 1967 Cup Winners Cup heroes

42 years have passed since Bayern began their ascent from humble origins to become Germany’s most successful club. The men in red followed their 1965 elevation to the Bundesliga with victory in the DFB German Cup the following season, before adding the club’s first European trophy to the display cabinet just 12 months after that, when Bayern defeated Glasgow giants Rangers 1-0 after extra time in Nuremberg on 31 May 1967 to claim the European Cup Winners Cup.

Almost exactly 40 years to the day of that momentous event, the heroes of 1965-67 were invited by the Bayern Presidential Committee to a reunion at the Paulaner Nockherberg tavern, where the list of those present naturally included household names such as Sepp Maier, Gerd Müller and Franz Beckenbauer.

Present at the reunion: Gustl Starek, Gerd Müller, Adi Kunstwadl, Hubert Windsperger, Rudi Grosser, Hans Rigotti, Hermann Landerer, Peter Kupferschmidt, Hans Nowak, Karl Schneider, Josef Röckenwagner, Manfred Mokosch, Franz Beckenbauer, Sepp Maier, Dieter “Mucki” Brenninger, Jakob Drescher and Werner Olk.
