Cruyff passed away

[Adrian]

Call me crazy, but I believe Cruyff is not only the most important man in the history of Barcelona, but in the history of football. The game we're watching today was shaped by his philosophy.

"If the 175,000 FC Barcelona members (or socios) queued up in an orderly line, night after night, to massage his tired feet, cook his dinner and tuck him into bed; if they carried his golf clubs round Montanyá’s hilly 18 holes; if they devoted 50 per cent of their annual salary to him… it still wouldn’t be near enough to repay the debt those who love this club owe Johan Cruyff."

Very sad to hear.

I hope his family can find peace and take solace in what he meant to so many.

I really didn't expect that...since I read somewhere that it's all going well for him about few months ago.
We all know how big is your name in this club. Thank you.

Rest in Peace Johan. Enjoy eternal peace and happiness.

This is my first or maybe second comment ever. Even though I've been reading this forum for maybe 4 years now. Absolutely gutted.

"In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker, and the striker the first defender."
"There is only one ball, so you need to have it."
"Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is."
RIP Hendrik Johannes Cruyff.

The Swede later said it was the highlight of his career as he was the first one to be subjected to this.

What a genius move from Johan to come up with this.

RIP Johan. The most influential man in football history, a legend as player and coach. My prayers are with his family
