RIP Johan Cruyff.

Cancer freaking sucks, I know that feeling as my mom had Breast Cancer Twice in 4 years and thankfully she's survived it.

I'm glad to hear about regarding your mom [MENTION=19222]xXKonan[/MENTION] :)

My uncle suffered cancer as well but wasn't lucky as her.

For her sake, I hope it doesn't return somehow...

Dammit. RIP.
Hope the board feels great about how they left things with Johan...

One of the few footballers who's sure to be remembered 50 years from now.

You're welcome

6 Ballons for Messi

6 Ballons for Messi

but what if he wins 7??
A great football man. Prayers for his family.

Someone should make a video of him and end it with the messi-suarez cruijff penalty, signalling his legacy being carried on.
I got some fabulous ideas from time to time.

*oh and just before the clasico, the boys will be extra motivated.

Letter from the presidents of FC Barcelona to Johan

Barcelona, 24 March 2016

Thank you, Johan.

Johan Cruyff's death is sad news for the entire world of football. His individual and collective achievements made him one of the best players and coaches in history and the professional and personal footprint he left at our club is enormous. First and foremost, we want to convey our sincerest condolences to the Cruyff family and to all the Club's players and staff who, throughout his various stages as a player and coach, shared emotions, efforts and the joys of success.

On a day like today, every FC Barcelona fan will recall their own memories of and experiences relating to Cruyff as both a leader and as a symbol. We, as presidents of FC Barcelona, have the immense honour to give thanks, on behalf of Barcelona supporters everywhere, to a brilliant and rebellious man who decisively marked the trajectory of the club.

We are thankful to Cruyff for his work as a player and as a coach, and for the titles he achieved. But above all, we are thankful for the intangibles which are still alive today and which will endure into the future, for they are worth more than all those titles; Cruyff endowed us with high levels of self-esteem and set a new course for the success of FC Barcelona.

With Cruyff we began to play differently, breaking new ground, innovating. With him, both as a player and coach, we established our own style on the field, what is traditionally known as 'total football,' the Barça style everyone admires.

The arrival of Cruyff altered the history of Barça. He contributed decisively to a change of mentality. He got us to keep our heads up and to see that no opponent was invincible, that we could attain what we were aiming for. Cruyff was an icon who explained, better than anyone, that Barça is more than a club. He did it simply and based in reality, and always moving forward.

Without Cruyff's unabashed and non-conformist spirit, we probably wouldn't have become the greatest club in the world. So, again, thank you, Johan. Thanks to the man who was admired, thanks to the social icon, thanks to the football superstar. Thank you for your audacity, thank you for your expertise, and thank you for having chosen Barça and Barcelona in the same way that, for Barça and Catalonia, you have always been, and will always be, one of us.

Thank you, Johan.
