Herbert "Ertl" Erhard[1] (6 July 1930 – 3 July 2010), also known as Herbert Erhardt, was a German footballer who played as a defender.
Erhard played for SpVgg Fürth and Bayern Munich.[2] He was known for his hard tackling, doggedness and captain-like performances. The German Football Association lists Erhardt in the top 20 best German defenders of all time, and Bayern Munich included him in their best 16 in a team made up in the 1980s of famous past players.[citation needed]
Erhard started out as a full back before being used as a half back by the mid-1950s. He then settled in the center half position by the end of the 1950s.
