Thomas Müller next? Here's our all-time one-club man XI | OneFootball

Thomas Müller signed a new two-year deal with Bayern Munich on Tuesday, which lasts until just a couple of months before his 35th birthday.

At this point it’s hard to see him ever playing for anyone other than the club he made his debut for way back in August 2008, when he was just 18 years old.

Even the likes of Bayern legends Philipp Lahm (Stuttgart on loan) and Bastian Schweinsteiger (Man Utd, Chicago Fire) didn’t retire as one-club men, so who could Müller potentially join if he never leaves Munich?

Here, in a 5-3-2 formation, is our one-club man XI …

GK: Sepp Maier (Bayern Munich)

The legendary Maier nudges past Lev Yashin to get the spot in goal.

His 700 Bayern Munich appearances is more than any other player in history and saw him win four Bundesliga titles and three European Cups.

RB: Gary Neville (Manchester United)

An academy graduate, a club captain, an eight-time Premier League and two-time Champions League winner. We just had to pick Neville.

CB: Carles Puyol (Barcelona)

The leader of the side widely regarded as the greatest club team in history, Puyol came through the ranks at Barcelona and captained the team for a decade before retiring in 2014.

Barcelona accepted an offer from Malaga for him in 1998 but he refused to leave before breaking into the side, playing under 10 Barcelona managers and winning 18 major titles.

CB: Tony Adams (Arsenal)

The only player in the history  of the English game to captain a side to the league title in three different decades, Adams is commonly referred to as Mr Arsenal.

He made 669 Arsenal appearances over 19 years in the first team, winning the league in 1989, 1991, 1998 and 2002 before retiring.

CB: Franco Baresi (Milan)

Speaking of long-serving captains, Baresi played for Milan for 20 years and wore the armband for 15 of them.

The club retired his number six shirt when he retired in 1997 having made 719 first team appearances, a club record until it was beaten by …

LB: Paolo Maldini (Milan)

That’s right, Maldini, who played alongside Baresi as Milan won back-to-back European Cups in 1989 and 1990. Maldini would win the trophy again in 2007, two years before retirement.

His number — the three – has also been retired after he made a jaw-dropping 902 first team appearances, winning the European Cup/Champions League five times and seven Serie A titles.

DM: Billy McNeill (Celtic)

Let’s get it out of the way — McNeill was a defender – but defenders appear to be more loyal and we couldn’t leave him out, so he’s screening the backline instead.

A true leader, McNeill was nicknamed “Cesar” by his team-mates and led the Lisbon Lions to European Cup glory in 1967.

CM: Michael Zorc (Borussia Dortmund)

A bonafide Dortmund legend, Zorc retired as a player in 1998 but remains at the club to this day (until this summer) as sporting director.

On the pitch, he is the club’s all-time record appearance holder (572) as well as their all-time top Bundesliga goalscorer (131) despite being a midfielder.

CM: Paul Scholes (Manchester United)

Paul Scholes spent two stints at Manchester United but played for nobody else in between, retiring in 2011 only to come back due to an injury crisis in January 2012.

Another half season with the club meant another Premier League title – his 12th for United — to add to his three FA Cups and two Champions Leagues in 718 appearances.

FW: Francesco Totti (AS Roma)

The Golden Boy, the Eighth King of Rome, Il Capitano.

Totti was all those things and so much more during his 25 years in the Roma first team, a spell that saw him net 307 goals in 786 first team appearances. Truly one of a kind.

FW: Uwe Seeler (Hamburger SV)

Uwe Seeler was born in Hamburg, joined Hamburger SV at the age of 10, made his debut at the age of 16, and scored 497 goals in 583 appearances before retiring at the age of 35.

A German football icon.
