Agree one of the few who can realistically be called a legend - changed the way the game was played. Hope they retire the Dutch 14 shirt in tribute.
 
One of the greatest footballers of all time, he and the "Dutch Masters" brought excitement and joy to the game in the seventies ... such a breath of fresh air.

Here are some of his quotes:

"Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring."

"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is."


"In a way, I’m probably immortal."

As long as there is video footage available and as long as coaches keep teaching the "Cruyff Turn," you will be immortal, Johan.
 
One of the greatest of all time, and one of my favourite players. RIP.


Not only an inspiration during his playing days, but also made Barcelona what they are today through his management.
