Cruyff
Hendrik Johannes Cruijff
It takes a special type of footballer to invent his own skill move - Aiden McGeady aside, obviously. Johan Cruyff did both.A now mythical figure, Cruyff is arguably the most influential footballer of all time; and one of the most talented too.
The centrepiece of the 'Total Football' era, Cruyff made beautiful teams successful; a feat so incredible that we still see its effects to this day.
