Tragic news - true legend of the game both while playing and coaching

Rest easy.

 

[YidoBuckler]

Total legend, shocked by this.

R.I.P Cruyff.

Always thought it was funny how Modric looked similar to him and how they had the same number.

Shame, very Spursy player.

Got to see him that night at the lane.

Seem to recall he smoked all though out his playing career

The Cruyff Turn was one of the first things we all tried as kids when we started to play football

 

[maida vale 75]

One of the best...my first world cup 74 the game against Brazil his cross for neeskens goal total football.Got to see him live at Stamford bridge 78 as a guest for New York Cosmos and when he played against us in 83.Part of my football childhood gone forever.RIP

He features quite heavily in the book 'Brilliant Orange' about Dutch football and their culture etc. I didn't realise he was so influential off the football pitch, he was the poster child for changing attitudes and they absolutely adore him out there. RIP

sad day. RIP

Imagine playing in a world cup wearing your OWN kit. That's how mighty Johan was.

 

[Guido 🇺🇦]

Another great compilation.

 

[Scottwallace15]

up there with maradona and Pele, vision, pace, skill and just outstanding footballing ability in general, sad day for football, if the dutch dont build a monument to this man, i know it gets thrown about a bit, but this man truly was a legend

History - Vic Buckingham
The above was posted last year in here, it is a fantastic read about Spurs player Vic Buckingham and his influence on "Total Football".
Read another today, curtesy of Windy: Vic Buckingham: the Englishman history forgot
