Personal Life
Beckenbauer has been married three times and has five children, one of whom, Stephan, was a professional footballer. After appearing in an ad for a big mobile phone company, Beckenbauer specifically requested the number 0176 / 666666 for his mobile phone. However, he soon was flooded with phone calls by men who thought it was a phone sex number (in German, "6" translates to "sechs", very close to the word sex).

Flouted opinion in his personal hair;
For foppery he gave not any figs,
But in his right and honor took the air.”
