German football legend Uwe Seeler has died at the age of 85.
Seeler led West Germany to the 1966 World Cup final as captain and was regarded as one of the country's best-ever players.
Famous for his overhead-kicks and ability to score goals from the unlikeliest of angles, Seeler was also respected for his unwavering loyalty to Hamburg.
"Uwe Seeler stands for everything that characterises a good person: Down-to-earthness, loyalty, joie de vivre, plus he was always approachable," HSV board member Jonas Boldt wrote in a statement.
"He is the epitome of HSV. I personally have special memories of our get-together on his last birthday. He talked shop, asked about his HSV, gave me tips and a few sayings.
