Toni Turek a football god? Not if Sepp Herberger had the final word. “As much praise and recognition as Toni deserves for his goal-line work, the same cannot be said for his cooperation with the players in front of him,” Herberger wrote. “Toni never truly had his men under control the way one expected him to.” It was not only Turek’s occasional phlegmatic side that irritated Herberger, but also his sporadic showmanship – such as catching balls one-handed. “The urge to show off was in his blood. He took the stern criticism of those around him hardly to heart, or brushed it off.”
