The sad passing of such a great, and 2016 has seen many of a certain era passing. Should this be to crazy please delete it. We have Sergio, a football genius right. So why not embrace this superstar whilst he is here at his peak. Name the South stand after him, let's not wait until he is long gone. For me the club need engage with the fans again. South Stand should also be all blues next year for own Blue wall. Fuck the visitiors into th Colin Bell top Corner close the North stand.

Total Class.

Even at that age would walk into any current premiership team.

You have the Cruyff turn, but most of the defenders in that clip have the "Otimendi Slide"

So impressed to watch him live in a foggy night at San Siro for an AC Milan-Ajax game. No Pelè or Maradona fantasy, please! Johann is the best football player I ever see in my life, definitively! RIP

Fabulous team.
All of them.

Total Football eh?


Unforgivable that I forgot Johnny Rep, wonderful talent. Also, if memory serves, didn't they have Jongbloed in goal who wore the number 8 shirt? (I may have dreamt this).

Jongbloed is the house special. Two of them and it's curtains mate.

Impressive to say the least. Not the smoking mind, but that he smoked and did all that he did.


It seems the smoking caught up with him in the end.

Yet another part of my youth passes to the next world
