After winning three successive European Cups with Ajax, three Ballon d’Ors, eight Eredivisie titles, and one La Liga title as a player, several more honours as a manager with Barcelona and Ajax, possibly the greatest exponent of Rinus Michels’ Total Football philosophy, 68-year-old Johan Cruyff will take on a new opponent now – lung cancer.

While we are saddened at hearing the news, all of us at GFI wish one of the most inspirational coaches of all time a speedy recovery. #AnimsCruyff
