With 16 goals across four FIFA World Cups, Klose ranks among the top three scorers in the tournament's history. He's also Germany's outright best with 71 strikes in 137 international appearances.
The no-frills No.11 won the World Cup Golden Boot in 2006, the tournament itself in 2014, and two Bundesliga-DFB Cup doubles with Bayern Munich.
All the above and much besides, despite not scoring his first top-flight goal until the age of 22.
Watch: Miroslav Klose, thanks for the memories!
