    RIP.

    What a player. What a Dutch side he played for. Anyone who has never seen the 74 side, and the concept of total football, take an hour and have a look. You will see so much from that team that modern pundits think has been invented during the premier league era, and in particular Pep and Klopp's era.

    Best compliment I can pay him as I think he played for the most entertaing side, behind Brazil 82.

    Don't usually comment on these things but sad to lose another one from that amazing side.

    sad news!

    What a player and what a team the Dutch were in 74.
    Cruyff, Rensenbrink, Johnny Rep, Rudi Krol and Neeskens!
    My favourite team when watching the World Cup.
