Only 73. Jeez. The Dutch turned out some cracking players back in the day!

 

[Flounce]

Played in that fabulous Netherlands World Cup team playing “total football”, really exciting team

Sadly sounds like a very sudden and unexpected death.
RIP Johan

One of the greatest, I loved the player, that Ajax/Netherlands team, and then the spell at Barca (but there was so little coverage if stuff like that at time).

And that cool hair and sideburns.

RIP, thank you.

What a player he was. RIP

 

[Eeyore]

Part of the Dutch team who taught us all how to play football properly. I remember the '78 final well. RIP.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Absolute legend.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Great player.
What a team….

RIP

 

[Gwylan]

Oh, that Dutch team. The names just roll off the tongue ... Cruyff, Neeskens, Rep, Krol, Haan, Rensenbrink, van der Kerkhof etc

What a team, what style ... every neutral's favourite team. And Neeskens was right at the heart of it

Very much this. Loved his penalty technique where he used to just smash it into the roof of the net pretty much dead centre

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Legend.

I remember it well too and also the 1974 final

When Muller scuffed the winner the rest of the world groaned.

You know how legendary that Dutch team was when even now without Googling I reckon I could name at least 15 players from that squad.

Probably my favourite international team ever
I probably couldn’t do 15 but
Cryuff,Van de Kerkoff x 2 van harnigan,Johnny Rep,Neeskins,Rensenbrink,Krol
That’s me over to you Mick or anyone else
Jack Taylor’s bottle to give a penalty against the home nation in the first few minutes will always be a lasting memory for me
So wanted the Dutch to win that day
I was almost 10 and now I’m almost 60
