Müller's goalscoring instinct was second to none and there was hardly a way to prevent him from scoring. He could put the ball in with his right foot, his left foot, his head and any other part of his body
His low centre of gravity allowed him to receive the ball with his back turned to goal, and turn to fire a shot almost instantly. He wasn't the quickest of players, nor was he the most technical or the strongest, yet he was one of the most effective.
His finishing ability was unrivalled during his playing days. He was one of the most clutch footballers ever.
Without him, Bayern would not be as successful as it is, he was the best example of proving how effectiveness and consistency is more important than pure ability

He was fat, short, and disregarded as soon as he first came to Bayern, but he left as not only the greatest striker in our history, but the greatest striker in football history.
