Great read! A fascination with Cruyff properly ignited a love of football for me when I came across an issue of Four Four Two with him as the main cover story over a decade ago, devoured whatever interviews, books and Youtube highlights I could find. Crazy given Cruyff had effectively retired from the game many years before then.
Even if the likes of Messi can be argued as the better players in terms of talent and silverware, when everything is taken into account as you’ve done in this article it’s difficult to ignore Cruyff as the greatest bar none.
