Thought he was recovering. Really sad news. Not many football moves named after a player.

Great player, wonderful to watch in that wonderful Dutch side.......very sad, R.I.P.

He only found out about his cancer in October. Cancer really is something nasty.

Liked him both on and off the field. Very sad.

In an era of superlatives that are nearly entirely undeserved, there has yet to be a superlative written in the English language that sums up the inventiveness, genius, humility and creativity that flowed from his boots and from his footballing mind. Inspired so many people to love the game and left his mark on football as we know it. I suppose the only way I can describe him is that he is an absolute titan.

Distraught.

The Cruyff Turn. What a move and what a footballer. The finest of the finest to have left this earth. Only those truly greats - still alive - Pele, Maradonna and Beckenbauer could match or eclipse him. Vale Johan
