The people's player


Johan Cruyff

To help mark UEFA's Jubilee, each national association was asked to nominate its most outstanding player of the past 50 years. In the latest of a series of articles looking at the Golden Player selected by the nations who have qualified for UEFA EURO 2008™, uefa.com remembers the career of the Netherlands' Johan Cruyff.

Alongside Rembrandt and Vincent van Gogh, he is the most famous Dutchman ever. A study even proved that more than two billion people know the name of Johan Cruyff – the other Dutch master, born on 25 April 1947 in Amsterdam.
