Cruyff By Matt Oldfield

Johan Cruyff revolutionised football. Hailed as one of the greatest footballers in history and most forward-thinking managers of all time, Cruyff was awarded the Ballon d’Or three times in the space of four years. His career began with Ajax, winning three European Cups, eight Eredivise titles and an Intercontinental Cup before Barcelona bought the forward for a world record transfer fee of $2 million. ‘Ultimate Football Heroes’ is a series of biographies telling the life-stories of the biggest and best footballers in the world and their incredible journeys from childhood fan to super-star professional player.
