Max Morlock
Max Morlock was born in Nuremberg on May 11, 1925, and spent virtually his entire career at 1. FC Nürnberg, the club where he played from 1940 to 1964. A technical and prolific forward, he became one of the greatest idols in the club's history. With Nürnberg, he won the German Championship in 1948 and 1961, with more than a decade between the two titles. For the West Germany national team, he played 26 matches and scored 21 goals. He was a World Cup champion in 1954, in Switzerland, and opened Germany's scoring in the final against Hungary, in what became known as the Miracle of Bern, which ended 3-2. He died in Nuremberg on September 10, 1994. In 2017, 1. FC Nürnberg's stadium was renamed Max-Morlock-Stadion in his honor.
