During his playing career, Beckenbauer's popularity was such that he was included as a character in [[Monty Python]]'s sketch "[[The Philosophers' Football Match]]" as the sole genuine player and a "surprise inclusion" to the German team. During the match, between famous Greek and German philosophers, instead of actually playing football, the "players" walk in circles contemplating philosophy, while "asking questions", a popular phrase used by English football commentators, much to the confusion of Beckenbauer.<ref>{{cite book | title = Monty Python's Flying Circus: An Utterly Complete, Thoroughly Unillustrated, Absolutely Unauthorized Guide to Possibly All the References | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gSFYYKbtDCsC&q=Beckenbauer | publisher = Rowman & Littlefield | year = 2008 | first = Darl | last = Larsen | page = 158|isbn = 9780810861312}}</ref>
