Perhaps the greatest game in Rummenigge’s career came in March 1979 as he bagged a hat-trick of goals AND assists in a 7-1 win over rivals Gladbach. It was one of Bayern’s biggest-ever wins.

In 2013, Bayern’s dream of the treble came true, all made possible by the hard work of the team and the year-long planning by the club’s officials. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Uli Hoeneß proudly showed off the fruits of that labour at Marienplatz. The team would repeat the same feat seven years later with Rummenigge still in position as CEO.
