One of football's true greats, Johan Cruyff has died of cancer at the age of 68. A member of the Dutch "total football" squad and one of the few players to have had a ball trick named after him. From an age before the greed and mega money of the present
day game.

Johan Cruyff RIP

    I had the privilege of actually seeing him play. Him and George Best were in a league of their own.

    A very sad day for football, and sport in general. So young as well.

    My hero too - and I wasn't even a football fan!  A sad day, as others say.
