Cruyff: "I’m ex-player, ex-director, ex-coach, ex-manager, ex-honorary president. A nice list that again shows everything comes to an end."

Wtf. Didn't realize he was suffering from cancer.
What a legend. His legacy will live on for generations.

RIP. Massive loss.
How many of you, like me, practiced and used the 'Cruyff Turn' in their playing days?
His footballing legacy is immortal. Wish I had the chance to watch him playing. RIP to another true legend of the game.
Another high profile death from cancer in 2016. Seems like someone new goes every week.
RIP.
RIP.
Tried, and couldn't do it with the same elegance
Cruyff:
"You might think I'm exaggerating, but in my opinion a team are horrible if they're incapable of stringing three passes together. It's these players that have mediocre basic skills. But fortunately, there will always be natural-born footballers."

He was the first big player I was told about by my father when I was very young. I remember the "Cruyff turn" was the first trick I learnt as a kid, still use it today. RIP.
Great footballer!
May he rest in peace.
May he rest in peace.
You know you're a legend when you have a football skill named after you.
RIP
RIP
Tried it once in my school team and made the opposing player slip and fall. Class move when you execute it well
I fecking despise cancer, it's the most horrible thing ever (I will celebrate like a mad man when the day arrives mankind can actually heal it). I lost a couple of loved ones to this horrible disease, and now a true legend of the game is gone as well, as are countless others.
RIP. Your football legacy will remain forever.

I'd much prefer if this JC rose over the weekend...
R.I.P.
He isn't called El Salvador for nothng, I still have hope.
Pulled it off once. Had more luck with the stepovers. They used to call me C. Ronaldo, true story...
From research I did when my brother got RIP-ed by lung cancer, there's kinda 2 types & if you cop for the nasty one & they don't catch it very early it spreads rapidly & reoccurs easily. And is ferociously life shortening whatever they say. Mystery is why some people can smoke and be unaffected in a way considering how carcinogenic cigs are.
I can't think of any other individual who has had more influence on the game. He was one of the very best players and also had a great impact as a manager with his thinking. RIP.
A sad day, indeed.
May he rest in peace, one of the most influental figures in world football.
One of the best ever.
RIP.
RIP.
That's nuts. Still relatively young too. Cancer's a bitch.
RIP. Legend of a player
R.I.P. to Cruyff, one of football's best ever.
Speaking of great, LFC never misses any opportunity to sing their own praises.

This quote would be more appropriate:
Cruyff:
"You might think I'm exaggerating, but in my opinion a team are horrible if they're incapable of stringing three passes together. It's these players that have mediocre basic skills.
RIP to a legend.
feck cancer.
feck cancer.
That was a shock. Mr total football. RIP.
I know someone always says something like this after someone dies, but I was genuinely just watching videos on him yesterday
Very sad. Excellent player
Very sad. Excellent player
Why would Liverpool use that quote to honour a legend who has died today? Dicks.
Thank you Cryuff. You are truly Immortal.
Rest in Peace.
Rest in Peace.
I tried that Cruyff Turn so many times. He did it so effortlessly.
feck that is painfully stupid from them.
Morons.
Wasn't old enough to have watched him but every thing I read about the history of the game has a before Cruyff and after feel to it. RIP. Van Gaal's presser is probably going to be a bit interesting.
Rest In Peace Johann, thanks for everything
Disgusting.
Awful news, RIP Johan.
How is what Liverpool did disgusting? It's like people who post pics of them with people who died, with a caption RIP. It's their way of claiming a connection to Cryuff, which is somewhat shallow, but had good intentions IMO.
