| Johan Cruyff is one of the greats of the game. The Dutch soccer master who, unfortunately, never won a World Cup. Quote: “Football is simple, but the most difficult thing is to play simple football.” Cruyff was also the inspiration for the Barcelona passing style of play.
Eric Cantona on Cruyff: “I loved the Dutch in the ’70s, they excited me and Cruyff was the best. He was my childhood hero; I had a poster of him on my bedroom wall. He was a creator. He was at the heart of a revolution with his football. Ajax changed football and he was the leader of it all. If he wanted he could be the best player in any position on the pitch.”
