One of the most talented and technically sophisticated players of all time. Genius!

Overath is one of the best playmakers ever. One of the most underrated playmakers and midfielders.

Germany are painted by the media as workaholics and average technique.

But this nation has had plenty of technical playmakers like Netzer Schuster Flöhe Möller and Haßler; Özil/Kroos recently.

Germany will always have playmakers and no.10s

One of the Best players ever!!! Thanks Barbosa for this Pearl!!!!

[metallicbigtoe]

A criminally forgotten maestro that was also as tough as nails 👍

[sauvikh]

Amazing player with even better song choice and great video

[nunobrito]

Grande jogador. Homem de um só clube, FCKoln. O teu trabalho é de grande valor para que estas lendas não caiam no esquecimento e para as novas gerações pensarem que o futebol só existe com o CR7 e com o Messi.

Wolfgang Overath is one of underrated player ever. He took Gunter Netzer in bench. Overath soon regained his place ahead of Netzer, due to the latter's now being injured. Netzer himself said that Overath "was born to play for Germany". A dicipline, talented & tactically player, Overath was known for his passing ability, technique and outstanding left foot. A World Cup specialist, he won 1974 WC, 3rd 1970 WC, Runner up 1966 WC. Entered on 1974 WC Best XI. A Legend.

Barbosa giving "forgotten" players a shout out. Love the content keep it coming.

Great player, the West Germany team of the early 70s had a superb central spine running through it. To have Beckenbauer, Overath, Netzer, Muller et al at the same time was incredible

[Noob-ngof]

Really appreciate your channel mate. This is the first time I've seen or heard of this player and I think that is a crime lol. Dudes a maestro.

[comunistanuncatemcomida]

My father talk a lot about this player.
Thank you Barbosa

[Carlitow]

The best midfielder you've never heard about

[franciscoservanmoreno]

Una especie de Xavi Hernández, muy bueno, aunque mi favorito de Alemania en esa época era el Gunter Netzer de 1972...sublime

[chemaroman]

Exquisite left foot, a paint brush on the canvas. Maestro.

[maxmorlock]

I knew him but had never seen him play. wonderful midfielder

[maxmorlock]

your taste and your musical culture is magnificent. Well done

When the swedish right winger, Roger Magnusson, came to Cologne on loan from Juventus in 1966/67 he was an instant hit and awoke the jealousy of Overath. The latter stopped giving Roger Magnusson any passes and Magnusson was happy to join the french club Olympique Marseille where he became one of their greatest players ever. Still, I think Overath was fantastic and also his younger team mate, Heinz Flohe.

I saw him after his career at a game with older professional Stars against best player of county dithmarsha . He was 43 years old and he held the ball so close to his feet that no one was able to take the ball away from him. He made a great show for us, having still a great speed. I was impressed to see his fitness at that age. He liked to play football in private until the age of 80. Football was his life he told on tv.

[JohnnieWalker]

Thx for the video.
Wolfgang Overath was my favorite player in the sixties and seventies. 👍For me he is together with Gerd Müller and Franz Beckenbauer the best german player ever.
