Football (soccer) question, but far more simple:

Who was nicknamed "The Nation's Bomber"?

Hint1: He was German.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Franz Beckenbauer?

Being the only German player I can think of.

You got it! No.

HINT2: He scored 10 goals at the 1970 World Cup. Au Mexique, bien sûr.

They mentioned the answer in Wednesday's match commentary, I think - it's Gerd Mueller, who apparently is one ahead of Miroslav Klose in terms of goals scored during international tournaments.

Oh I know, pick me, pick me!

May as well give the answer to move this thread on. Want to ask another, Fenix?

[BFM_Fénix]

Go ahead and ask, Jim.

[jim360]

How long in years did the first (and, so far, only) British Republic last?

[Marty]

Ten.

[jim360]

No.

[Marty]

Not ten.

That won't get you far in most quiz shows and it won't work here either.

[BFM_Kiwi]

Eleven then

[BFM_Fénix]

I'll take a wild guess and say 11.5
