As Wales mourns the loss of rugby icon JPR Williams, football is also coming to terms with the death of the great Franz Beckenbauer. A World Cup winner as both a player and manager, 'Der Kaiser' was one of the most important figures in both the German and the global game. Beckenbauer's only playing appearance against Wales came in October 1976, in a match held in Cardiff to celebrate the Football Association of Wales' centenary.
