Cruyff: Unpredictable on and off the pitch

PM

Available for over a year

The Dutch footballer, Johan Cruyff, regarded by many as one of the greatest players, has died of cancer. He was 68 years old. Cruyff won three consecutive European Cups with Ajax, helped the Netherlands reach the World Cup final in 1974 and went on to manage Barcelona to their first European Cup success in 1992. In November last year he spoke about getting cancer shortly after he was diagnosed. Former 麻豆社 commentator Barry Davies interviewed Cruyff on a number of occasions. Davies said of Cruyff: "The greatest players of any game make the game simple". (Image: Johan Cruyff jumps a tackle from Uli Hoeness. Credit: Allsport UK)
