  Uwe Seeler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uwe Seeler (born November 5, 1936 in Hamburg) is a German manager and retired football player.
Seeler, however, was not himself implicated in the irregularities.
Uwe Seeler was a tremendously popular player due to his fairness, modesty, and kindness and is still widely called “Uns Uwe” (northern German: “Our Uwe”) in Hamburg and the surrounding area.

Seeler never won the World Cup, was never voted European Player of the Year and never even looked much like an athlete, with a physique that was hefty, to say the least.
Seeler scored in all four of the World Cups he appeared in, a record he shares with Pele but, far more than statistics, it is his playing style and character for which he is remembered.
Seeler was the “Torschuetzenkoenig,” or leading scorer, in that first season of the Bundesliga with 30 goals and the following year he was named German Player of the Year for the second time.

But Seeler had become accustomed to World Cup disappointment, and he was to be a loser again as West Germany lost a classic semifinal with Italy 4-3.
