He had problems due to smoking a lot... he had health problems when we was coach 20 years ago too...


The father of the modern football. Totally agree.


I thought the cancer was found some months ago, thats why i thought he will live some years.

Didn´t know that he had even earlier health problems

Yup. He did a lot of spots against tabacco since then.

He used to smoke during Barça matches...

It was made public in october. So maybe it wasn't that old. Yet in my experiance if you have both your longs filled with it, it will be over very soon.

He was so much better than all the others. And that is saying something with our legendary Dutch squad at the time.

Question: Did barca retire nr14 already, I'm sure they will now if they haven't yet.

No wait, that is Mascherano's number right?

Yup, it is for Mascherano now, and Henry used it too.

If we had to retire all the great numbers... Ronaldo, Maradona, Romario, Ronaldinho... but yes, he is the top1.

Nah, they were all great players. But Cruijff was something else. IMO Barcelona would not be where they are now without him.

It is not just your opinion, it is the fucking truth.

The first revolutionary was Kubala, Barça had to build a new stadium just for him, and the second one is Guardiola for obvious reasons, butJohann brought Barça some light as player (just 2 trophies, not so important) but he won 4 leagues in a row as coach.
