Karl-Heinz Schnellinger (born 31 March 1939) is a German former

Nilton Santos and Silvio Marzolini.[3][4]

Club career

Schnellinger was born in

Antonio Valentín Angelillo and Angelo Sormani
. He played nine seasons with the Rossoneri, obtaining several successes both at the national and European level. He was one of the first successful German footballers abroad.

Schnellinger left Milan in 1974, and retired after a season back in his native Germany with Tennis Borussia Berlin.[5]

International career

Schnellinger participated in his first

Game of the Century". His goal led to the famous German radio commentary line "Ausgerechnet Schnellinger!" – roughly: "Of all the players, it's Schnellinger" – which refers to him never having previously scored for the national team, and also to his being one of the two players in the German squad then playing in the Italian Serie A (the other being Helmut Haller). Italy eventually won 4–3 after extra time. In the previous round, late in the match against England, it was Schnellinger's cross that Uwe Seeler scored from with a backwards header that tied the score 2–2, a game West Germany won 3–2 after extra time. Schnellinger won his last cap in 1971.[7]
He is the last surviving player from the Germany team in the 1958 World Cup.

Personal life

Schnellinger later lived in Milan's suburb of Segrate where he worked as a businessman after retirement from football.
