Few players are as universally loved as Miroslav Klose. Born in Poland but representing Germany, by the end of his career he had appeared at four World Cups and scored a record-breaking 16 goals, one more than Brazil's Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima, thus making him the player with the most goals in the World Cup.
It wasn't just about individual honours though, Klose, of course, won the World Cup in 2014, his final appearance at the showpiece event. It also wasn't just international football where he shone, his time at Bayern Munich saw him win the Bundesliga twice.
His game wasn't all about goals either, though there was plenty of them possessed, as he was, with two great feet, a knack for being in the right place at the right time, and jump and header that belied his 6ft frame. He could dribble in tight places, link up with devastating effect, and was a true leader in every locker room he entered; whether that was making his name at 1. FC Kaiserslautern or showing no signs of slowing down with his four seasons at Lazio at the tail end of his career.
He is undoubtedly an icon of the game and has been honoured as such in the virtual world, having had an ICON card in the EA Sports' FIFA games since FIFA 19.
Also available in FIFA 22, you can have him in your Ultimate Team by completing a series of Squad Building Challenges (SBCs) and what's more, there are only six squads to build meaning getting is a realistic endeavour.
