Netzer, 70, recently visited Hoeness, who is four months into a three-and-a-half-year sentence, at Landsberg prison near Munich. Hoeness resigned as Bayern&rsquo;s president in March, 24 hours after being sentenced, having admitted to evading 28.5 million euros (US$35.7m) in taxes. Netzer told the Rheinischen Post that Hoeness, 62, is doing well and is said to have lost 20 kilos in weight since starting his sentence in June.
&ldquo;He was in good shape when I saw him and was proud of his weight,&rdquo; said Netzer. The friends were part of the West Germany squad which won the 1974 World Cup title and Netzer said Hoeness is doing his time with dignity.
