Summary

In 1974, Gerd Muller scored the game winner to lead West Germany to the World Cup title over the Netherlands. In 1985, 17-year old Boris Becker became the youngest to win the Wimbledon Men's Singles title and the first to do it as an unseeded player. In 1912, Jim Thorpe won Gold in the first Olympic Pentathlon. That medal would be stripped from him in 1913.
