The Legacy

Helmut Schön managed the national side at the 1978 World Cup in Argentina. Germany entered the tournament as defending champions but failed to progress past the second group stage after a decisive defeat to Austria. This Erima home shirt was worn by stars including Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Sepp Maier, Rainer Bonhof, and Bernd Hölzenbein. Despite the presence of such seasoned talent, the side struggled to find their rhythm in the South American climate. The campaign ended prematurely, closing the curtain on a legendary era for the West German national team on the international stage.
