dad just casually dropped the craziest piece of lore I’ve ever heard. He said he knew Johan Cruyff in the 70s before he was huge and they worked in the same place in Amsterdam. he hung out at his house, was friends with his wife and knew his kids too. absolutely mental. I have many more pictures of them together, I can confirm it is actually Cruyff

  1. May I ask how can you “confirm that its him”?

    I don’t have any reason not to believe your dad, but it just doesn’t look that much like him in my eyes 👀

    Can you send more pictures, I can tell the eyebrows are similar but not the other features and the head’s a bit wider

    My grandpa also told me a crazy story, he worked for the German navy and casually dropped a story how he met Elvis and had a chat with him. But cruyff is a different kind of class.

  4. Damn!! Your father was a friend of man who is known as The father of modern football, whose principles still form the foundation on which LA Masia still operates today.

    Might be the coolest dad lore i’ve seen here😭 That’s amazing, the most influential player for the tactical aspect of the sport itself

    I feel like he was huge in the early 70s already with Ajax dominating European football. Maybe check timelines. Not saying it’s not true but he was huge by the time he moved to Barca already. Also, he was 23 by 1970, not many players have football as a side job at that age and become top 5 of all time.
