Best penalty taker of his era ... top of the net rockets they were and what a national team they were.

RIP

74 and 78 - And the Dutch side was probably the best team not to win the WC - The Jimmy White of football with all the skill, popularity and support but not the appropriate trophy in the cabinet - Entertained and showed us an attack minded style - By 78 Cruyff had left the international stage 

The big pity then is that we only saw such sides periodically - Not the full on Sky coverage we see today of club + country matches - So the same goes for Ajax and Barca in the Champions League - As such we have memories of a few key games, but not the same that we see today of the likes of Messi 

RIP
