He was football. He embodied the beauty of this game. He was a true representative of what this game is. Knew everything and influenced others in a way no one can. He will be eternally missed. RIP Johan
Ik voetbalde bij een amateurclub CDW, Combineren Doet Winnen, In Sloterdijk Amsterdam. Op een gegeven moment was het razend druk op een van de voetbalvelden. Een stoet mensen stonden bij een veld om naar een jonge voetballer te kijken. Dit bleek de hele jonge Johan Cruijff van Ajax te zijn achteraf. Zelf heb ik nog een paar jaar bij CDW gevoetbald en ben toen naar een andere club gegaan, De Meteoor, ik Amserdam Noord in Tuindorp Oostzaan. Daar heb ik het gehaald tot het 2e team van de hoge klasse bij het amateurvoetbal. Hier heb ik nog een tijdje gespeeld met een international De Bruin van het Nederlands elftal bij de Meteoor.

Lui che cambia il calcio mondiale...Johann Cruijff.. Unico,immenso x sempre...leggenda stars,profeta,classe cristallina con un ritmo mai mai mai visto prima...a te Johan va come sempre;grazias Johan Cruijff en un memento dado.....regalato al mondo come ha me,x poi vivere verso,un indimenticabile intenso totale..."X Sempre"
I played twice against Jordi Cruyff when he played with the Ajax youth. My football team was in the same youth league as Ajax in Amsterdam. I stood twice in front of him in the matches. Cruyff always watched his son playing so at halftime in the dressing room it was a big talk because Cruyff was seen and he and his staff were watching our game. Well, we did'n't play any better after we knew Cruyff was watching. We were all that excited and may be a little more nervous.
@Phonix fire No I played with my club in the same youth league against Ajax. If I was that talented Ajax would have picked me but they didn't haha. Sometimes you were in the same youth league as the Ajax youth in Amsterdam. It was of course always exciting to play against them. Many times the Ajax youth teams played an age class higher to have more opposition because they were that good.
