"I experienced pretty much everything you can experience with him. He came to FC Bayern as a young player in 1974, shortly after we had won the World Cup. We welcomed him back then. He was an incredible dribbler, but a bit nervous at first, so the goals didn't come right away. But he matured into an absolute world-class player at FC Bayern and in the national team. He later continued his career at Inter Milan and in Geneva,"
"When I became manager, FC Bayern had debts of around seven million marks. Through his transfer - that was about eleven million marks at the time - then we became debt-free. With the remaining four million, I then signed Lothar Matthäus for two million and Roland Wohlfarth for one million. The remaining million was used to create FC Bayern's fixed deposit account. We must be infinitely grateful to Karl-Heinz for that. His transfer helped FC Bayern get healthy."
Uli Hoeneß and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge share a long, deep history at Bayern Munich. Rummenigge arrived as a young player in 1974 and developed into a world-class performer for the club and national team before moving on to Inter Milan and Geneva. His transfer brought approximately eleven million marks, which cleared Bayern's debts of around seven million marks. The remaining four million financed the signings of Lothar Matthäus (two million) and Roland Wohlfarth (one million) and established a one-million-mark fixed deposit account. Both men remain linked to the club via the supervisory board until a future transition.
