That's just nitpicking. It's like claiming Einstein had nothing to do with quantum mechanics just because Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Born, Bohr and others laid the foundations.

No it's not... if the truth hurt it's your issue not mine.. feel free to make him the father of all football i don't care but don't expect me to change history or agree with revisionism
Some people deserve to know the truth not some people version of it

What is this nonesense? Cruyff and Rinus Michels are known as the founders of Total Football. Cruyff was not just a great footballer, but unlike Pele and Maradona he was also a great thinker about football. It's as if he were the lightbulb and Edison all at once. Back in 1965 Ajax were still a semi-professional outfit, but in January that year Michels arrived at the club with ambitions of turning Ajax into an top international club. He met a teenage waif who was equally as ambitious and in 6 years they had done it.

It was a game of rapid one-touch passing and players endlessly swapping positions in search of space. Cruyff could go where he liked, conducting the orchestra with constant improvisation. The world first noticed in 1966, when Ajax beat Liverpool 5-1 on a misty night. Cruyff and Michels were lucky of course, because by some demographic fluke half the young men in Amsterdam-East seemed to be world class footballers. Cruyff was the most orginal player, without him there would be no Total Football.

Jack Reynolds? Lol! He was a pioneer, not THE pioneer of Total Football. Cruyff and Michels were just as important as him if not more in the creation of it. I don't know if your just trying to be a hipster and come off as knowledgable about the history of football by throwing out names of the the long dead pioneers who most fans don't know about to make yourself look clever but some of us arent gonna take that crap. I meet too many people like that in my line of work, they are the most annoying kind of football fan.

Now jog on.

Deco yeah lol, I memorised that whole book plus others for my University dissertation on the football pioneers. I'm surprised your the only one who seems to have read that book. It got me an A

Viggo Mortensen : I would like him to be educated, not going to the locker room while playing to spite others, and not sticking his finger in peoples' eyes.

"It is cowardly to make that offensive gesture towards Tito Vilanova, a polite guy, and not towards Simeone, who would have kicked his a**e.

Well both Tito & Jose had a nice coffee together in UEFA coaches meeting yesterday... i think things are way calmer this season between both outfits

You do realise Mortensen is actually a Madrid supporter?

And in a way he's insulting Tito too.
