In the following season, 1966/67, the squad remained almost unchanged. Franz Bulle Roth arrived from Kaufbeuren, Georg Schwarzenbeck came through the youth academy. After appearing in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, FC Bayern competed for the first time in a UEFA-organised international competition: the European Cup Winners' Cup.
Via Tatran Presov, Shamrock Rovers, Rapid Wien and Standard Liege, Bayern reached the final in Nuremberg — the exact same city where Bayern had won their first major trophy, the German championship, 35 years earlier in 1932. Their opponents were Glasgow Rangers, who had previously knocked out holders Borussia Dortmund.
In front of 71,000 spectators, Franz Bulle Roth scored the 1-0 in extra time (108th minute).
Two years earlier, Roth had still been playing in the C-Klasse at TSV Bertoldshofen. Bayern finished the Bundesliga season in sixth place. The DFB-Pokal was successfully defended; 68,000 spectators in Stuttgart watched Bayern's cup triumph.
Hamburger SV with Uwe Seeler were beaten 4-0, with goals from Mueller (2), Ohlhauser and Brenninger (1 each).
