Lucky to have seen him and Cryuff play against England in 1977 at Wembley, and what a brilliant pair they were, in sides that you can trace back the way Barcelona, City and many clubs of today play their football back to. Sad news indeed. RIP Johan.

Stan and Dave Clements were in the England side that night too.

Was at that game too, hoping to see Stan do well, but the Dutch were so good that he and England hardly got a kick.

Loved watching the Netherlands play in the 70's and then again in the 80's with Gullit & co.

Rest in Peace Johan Neeskens

Loved watching the Dutch in the 70’s, us imitating their football, brilliantly, but despite it being the best football ever, neither of us lifting silverware.

Still the greatest decade for total football.

RIP Neeskens.

A truly great player in a wonderful team. That 1974 Holland team was a thing of wonder to the 10 year old me. Rest easy Johan ☹️

RIP. A truly great player. What would a box to box midfielder like him be worth in today's market?

As somebody has already alluded to, played in and lost two World Cup finals, one of twelve players.

Do we want to have a go at naming the other eleven?

Had a few pints this evening in the Palm Tree, Mile End stroke Bow. Subtle red lighting like a David Lynch/ Wim Wenders film. Three blokes getting on a bit (one being the pub landlord one being me) brought together in conversation due to the death of a Dutch football legend reminiscing about the great Dutch teams of the 70s. All the names mentioned above came up (I'll add Arie Haan) Cruyff turns were attempted. Any way landlord says there's a local who's an Rs fan goes home and away described currently as not happy.

Palm Tree Rs make yourself known.

He had vision and a great engine. Saw him play an exhibition game for NY Cosmos in Melbourne. Was one of the best players in the 78 World Cup final too. Will always be loved by Aussies for his assistant coach role with Guus Hiddink and the Socceroos in the 2006 World Cup. RIP legend 😎

Ruud Krol, Arie Haan, Wim Van Hanegem. Cruyff, Rep, Neeskens, Jongbloed and Rensenbrink already named and I can’t remember the other three. Johnny Rep always sounded like a character out of a Western movie.
It always struck me as ironic that the two goals against at Wembley were scored by a guy called Peters because Alf Ramsey always said that Martin Peters was ten years ahead of his time.

Jongbloed, Haan, Krol, Neeskens, Rep, Rensenbrink plus the four Germans.

So just two to get, both Dutch.

That was going to be my guess.

Just because I loved their names.

One of them is correct.

EDIT: I've just seen there is actually 13 not 12. He's also Dutch.
