Bayern retired the number five from their jerseys and no one will ever again be able to play in the shirt of the Bavarian giant reserved for Franz Beckenbauer.

"Number 5 is now part of a unique heritage. Because our club and its history cannot be imagined without Franz," Bayern president Herbert Heiner explained the decision.
