The soccer world is in mourning following the loss of a true sporting icon who changed the way an entire generation thought about the game.
Legendary Ajax boss Vic Buckingham once described Johan Cruyff as “God’s gift to mankind.” It was inevitable that one day He would want him back.
While shock and sadness are the immediate reactions to Tuesday’s news of the passing of a legend, we should also be grateful that we got to share in his genius for so long.
Cruyff couldn't just understand the game of soccer, he could control it.
