He was the greatest player I have ever seen, eclipsing even the great Pele and Maradonna.

Great ,great player, but his egomania cost his country's great teams of the 1970s at least one,and possibly TWO World Cups

The man was a beast, great talent! Even though he looks like the hobbit from the lord of the rings!

Poetry on the field, the moreso because he looked like a wispy dweeb who got beat up on the way home from high school. A fabulously exciting player, with a surprising amount of power in his shot.

Johann Cruyff was a truly outstanding footballer. Not only was he one of most gifted players of all time, he had a grace and on field presence that few could match. If things weren't going well for his team, he would take it upon himself to make tactical changes during a match without his manager's permission and would instruct team-mates roundabout him accordingly - which inevitably paid dividends. He had brilliant close ball control, an explosive turn of speed and could read a game almost perfectly. The Dutch master, who is by common consent properly regarded as the greatest ever European footballer, was so good that he even invented a move - the now popular, "Cruyff turn." In my book, he was a genius.

He's the greatest soccer coach I've ever known. In addition, he was a mastermind of the exquisite 'total soccer' system in the Nederlands' National Team. I think his ideas will endure for many decades in the field...

The best attacking forward I have seen in the past 40 years
