RIP Johan Cruyff

Great player, way ahead of his generation.
My 10 year old grandson probably does not know who he was but knows what a 'Cruyff stepover' is.

Cruyff turn BTW - when you first saw it, it looked like it was cheating, it was that good.

Still looked out of this world at the time.

Was it cancer, well known as a chain smoker, but still sad news.
 
Very sad news I knew he was very ill with lung cancer, supposedly his illness is the reason Barca (Messi and Suarez) recreated his penalty the other week.

RIP.
 
Just read it and gutted I remember Cruyff in the same way older football fans probably remember George best. Who never tried to do a " Cruyff turn " as a kid.

RIP and thanks for the memories.
 
the words great player are not used lightly when put with Cruyff ,he really was an inspirational player that kids all over the world tried to copy.
having been a football coach and teaching his moves ,ie.. the turn and the stepover it saddens me that he has gone.
RIP Johan ,rest well my friend.
 
So sad to hear of this - what a player he was!

A truly gifted footballer and as mentioned before, one of the all time greats.
 
Great video. Such a graceful, mesmeric player. Seering pace when he needed it but balletic brilliance to go with it.

Incredible player, as an aside the music was perfect to go with it.
