Johan Cruyff, the man credited with reinventing modern soccer, has died aged 68. The former player and manager of Spanish giants Barcelona and the Netherlands' most successful club Ajax, had been battling lung cancer. Cruyff is considered one of the most influential individuals in the last century, his Dutch team that finished runners up in 1974 referred to as playing "total football." A statement on his official website read: "On March 24 2016 Johan Cruyff died peacefully in Barcelona, surrounded by his family after a hard fought battle with cancer. "It's with great sadness that we ask you to respect the family's privacy during their time of grief."

This is quite sad! So the importer of total football into Spain and brain behind the tiki taka Barcelona has come to be associated with is no more? Life is indeed short! You've left your mark, and your footprints will be there for generations unborn to see how much you helped change the game. Rest in peace, legend! I only wish Sandra Rosell treated you better. #BarcaIsTheWay |
