Nine years ago one of the all-time greats passed away. Despite a long illness, the news still came as a shock.

The fulcrulm of the great "Total Football" Dutch team, a man who could probably have excelled in any outfield position, Cruyff personified class, football intelligence and pushed the limits of the game further.

One of, if not the best.

Definitely in the top two fir me........EVER !

In the local park: Look everyone! I can do the Cruyff Turn - trips over own feet and head-first into a load of dogshit. Aye, those were the days.
