RIP Johan Cruyff one of the greatest footballers of all time aged 68 who won three European Cup titles with Ajax, won Barcelona's first European Cup in 1992 and helped the Dutch reach the 1974 World Cup final and also for this:

 

 

The legendary 'Cruyff turn'.

 

 

Gotta echo this. Undisputable that he was one of the greatest platers ever. The Cruyff turn is immortal and he's an inspiration to countless players and managers across the globe.

 

RIP

I don't think Barcelona would be the team that they are today if wasn't for Johan Cruyff. R.I.P to a legend!
