Johan Cruyff - Legends of Football - Great goals and skills; including the 'Cruyff Turn'

Johan Cruyff - Legends of Football - Great goals and skills; including the 'Cruyff Turn' There's little doubt that Hendrik Johannes Cruijff or Johan Cruyff as he was better known was one of the best footballers to have ever played the noble game. He can easily be mentioned in the same breath as Pele, Maradona and Eusebio. His skills, including the famous 'Cruyff Turn', are legendary. This coupled with his pace and determination made him a menace to defenders. He played for many clubs including Ajax and Barcelona, who incidentally, he went onto manage later on in his life. He won the coveted Ballon d'Or three times in the seventies, showing just how dominant he was during that decade. Sadly, he died on 24th March 2016 at the age of 69. He leaves behind a rich legacy of skills and goals some of which can be seen in this video. Enjoy a real talent and A real legend.
