R.I.P Johan Cruyff

[Deutsch Wolf]

Quite simply one of the greatest footballers that's ever lived. Terribly sad news.

Johan Cruyff

RIP to a proper football legend

 

[FrankMunro-371]

He was a great player, one of the best ever. Very sad that he has died so young.

R.I.P.

 

[YoungWolf]

Of one the most influential people football has had. A true legend. RIP

 

[Stan Hullis]

One of the few people you can point to that have changed the game for the better, RIP.

 

[nimrod]

legend.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

legend.

A much overused word, but in this case it is absolutely correct. He was a legend, few players had his skill.

 

[Sniffer]

The Dutch side of the mid seventies was one of the Worlds greatest ever and Cruyff was the superstar in the team. A true footballing great and one with an interesting life story. RIP

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Probably my favourite player of all time. Desperately sad news.

 

[Paul]

A genius, who always made things look easy.

I think Sky have got their priorities wrong with their headlines online and on Sky Sports news. They are leading with Johnson, that's just wrong

Sadly that is just the way the World is these days.

Also remember Johan was a player before Sky invented football in 1992.

So good the man got his own move, not even Messi has that. A true legend.

 

[Freddeno]

RIP Johan Cruyff, legend that made a lot of good for football..died way early

 

[Parkins left foot]

RIP - a truly gifted footballer, one of the best I have ever seen play (& worringly only a couple of years older than I am)

 

[darlowolf64]

RIP. A member of possibly the greatest team to never win the World Cup, superstar and legend

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

2nd greatest

top three teams never to win the world cup

1954 Hungary
1974 Holland
1982 Brazil

 

[darlowolf64]

Possibly Paddy...Possibly

The greatest team I've ever seen to not win the World Cup. Is that better

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Absolutely.

I loved that Dutch side too. Even though I have no memory of it live apparently I did see them as a toddler. I remember 1978 and being all excited about watching Cruyff and then really disappointed when he didn't play.
