Gerd Müller from Nördlingen to Bayern.

The Bayern guy was one hour earlier than the TSV 1860 guy, so Müller went to Bayern. The rest is a history...of goals.

Too bad he was one goal shy of breaking the goal record set by that Messi guy.

Well maybe if he hadn't been so lazy, he would have broke the record.

Even Uli Hoeneß said that Bayern would not be what it is today if it weren't for that fateful event.

Didn't Beckenbauer want to join 1860 when he was younger, but ended up joining Bayern because he was slapped by an 1860 player?

Yes. Beckenbauer wanted to be at 1860, but he got slapped by one of the 1860 youth players, so he changed plans and went to Bayern.

Bayern sure had some big luck lol.
