Ikarus360 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I didn't knew where to make this thread, so I guess i'll post it here. Many of you are probably aware of the news though I felt we need a thread to discuss it http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/35892775 As a FC Barcelona fan i'm deeply saddened...the world of football lost one of its greatest figures. Thanks for everything, Cruyff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durban Sandshark Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 This is the 4th death in two days of a notable person. Yesterday, we already lost baseball great Joe Garigiola (from my hometown), Ken Howard from the White Shadow, and Malik "Phife Dog" Taylor from A Tribe Called Quest. Cruyff was a brilliant man and great influence in the building of Total Football, which its legacy can still be felt now. We all must thank him for being one of the undisputed greats in the game and building Dutch soccer to where it is now internationally (as if the Oranje's failure to qualify for France wasn't bad enough as we look forward to it). Also applies to FC Barcelona. Too bad he didn't win a World Cup title. RIP Cruyff famously resorted to started sucking on lollipops on the sidelines following his heart bypass surgery stemming partially from his smoking.

Mainad Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 R.I.P to one of the greats of world football! So may well-known people seem to have passed on recently. 2016 is turning out to be a really gloomy year and we are still only in March!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
