Kane and Dier join Bayern stars past and present to pay tribute to Beckenbauer

Bayern Munich has said goodbye to club legend Franz Beckenbauer with a memorial service attended by thousands of fans at the Allianz Arena.

The German legend, who won the World Cup as both player and manager, died on January 7 at the age of 78.

England players Harry Kane and Eric Dier joined the rest of the Bayern squad - plus famous names from the club's past - in paying their respects.

The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz was also in attendance to celebrate 'Der Kaiser', as well as Beckenbauer's wife Heidi and his children.

The defender first joined Bayern at the age of 14 and went on to play 584 times for the club, helping them win three European Cups and four Bundesliga titles.

Beckenbauer was an integral part of the West Germany team that won the 1974 World Cup after he'd been part of the squad that lost to England eight years prior.

As West Germany's coach, he guided them to global success at Italia '90 and later steered Bayern to the Bundesliga title in 1994 and the UEFA Cup in 1996.

Despite sub-zero temperatures in Bavaria, thousands attended the moving memorial service at the club's stadium on Friday afternoon.

Rainer Bonhof, Andreas Brehme, Paul Breitner, Lothar Matthäus, Günter Netzer, Wolfgang Overath, Franz Roth, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Georg Schwarzenbeck, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Berti Vogts were among the Bayern legends there.

This listened to performances from the tenor Jonas Kaufmann, with a mass crowd singalong of Beckenbauer's song 'Gute Freunde'.

He also performed 'Time to Say Goodbye' in an emotional opening to the ceremony.

The Tölz Boys' Choir performed the club anthem 'Stern des Südens' from their position in the stands and Höhenkirchen Siegertsbrunnen brass band also played.
