# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Uwe Seeler was born on 5 November 1936 and built his reputation as a prolific scorer for Hamburger SV, never leaving the club despite offers that would have made him rich elsewhere. He earned 72 caps for West Germany, turning up in crucial tournaments and embedding himself in the national team's identity. In 2004, Pelé named him to FIFA's list of the 100 greatest living players, a nod that carried weight. He became the first footballer to receive the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. He died on 21 July 2022, decades after the last goal but still regarded as one of the country's finest.
