German Football League Top Scorers
When it comes to scoring goals in the Bundesliga, one man reigns supreme - Gerd Muller. The legendary goal grabber from the 1960s and 1970s not only holds the record for the most goals in a single season, scoring 40 in 1971-72 at Bayern Munich, but also the record for the most awards won, being top scorer in the German league 7 times in a phenomenal period between 1966 and 1978.
