Thank you Maestro Cruyff for proving that creating the experience of beauty, artistic beauty, can be the greatest victory of all!!
A victory that transcends life, death and time. Your fellow countrymen Vermeer and Rembrandt have proven it possible in painting, which is art per definition; to do it within the game of football at the highest level is absolutely extraordinary and astonishing.
I accomplished my lifetime dream to play in the field with you on 11th December 2000 in a veterans’ match… Unforgettable!
