One of the greatest right-backs of the 1970s and 1980s, Manni Kaltz was known for his attacking style of play and was considered one of the best attacking full-backs of his time. Kaltz was an excellent crosser of the ball and had a powerful shot, which made him a dangerous threat going forward. He was also extremely solid defensively, with good positioning and tackling ability, which made him an important player for both his club team, Hamburger SV, and the West German national team.
