Football has lost a great legend

One of the great football legend left us today. After a long battle with lung cancer Johan Cruyff has died today in Barcelona at the age of 68.
He became popular with Ajax and Barcelona. With Ajax won three consecutive European Cups from 1971 and helped Holland reaching the 1974 World Cup final. From 1990/91 until 1993/94 Cruyff won four consecutive titles with Barcelona who remained influential figure at the club for the rest of his life. Three times was voted world player of the year. For five different clubs he scored 293 goals from 521 appearances. 'You play football with your head, and your legs are there to help you' said by Johan Cruyff in one of his many quotes.
Many football players and officials today were sending their last tribute to the Dutch mastermind.
