Germany World Cup winner, 63, looks unrecognisable after taking new job in homeland | The Sun

A GERMANY World Cup winner looks completely unrecognisable after taking a new job in his homeland.

The 63-year-old former striker has undergone a considerable transformation since retiring in 1996.

27 years on, he has ditched the iconic look which fans knew him by during his playing days.
