"Johan Cruyff: Your legacy will live on forever."-- Lionel MessiJohan Cruyff is Europe's greatest ever soccer player, bar none. Brave, competitive, and possessed of such grace that a choreographer declared he was a more natural dancer than Rudolph Nureyev, he embodied and exported a philosophy of how the game should be played that now dominates coaches across the world at all the leading club sides, most notably at Barcelona, but also at Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus and of course Ajax. This is his only autobiography.It was at Ajax that Cruyff started playing on his tenth birthday. He made his debut with Ajax in 1964, scoring the only goal for the team, and went on to lead them to victory in the league championships eight times and in the European cups three times.
