I went to the England vs Holland game at Wembley yesterday. Football was not quite up to expectations and team didn't gel too well but there was a very special moment when a little while into the game and whilst play was going on a photograph of Johann Cruyff was displayed on the two large tv screens behind the goals.
As one all in the Stadium stood up and applauded continuously for what seemed like 2 minutes or so and only ceased when the photographs disappeared. A marvellous tribute to the man.
As an aside many years ago I took my son to the Nou Camp as a treat to see Barcelona in action. Queued literally for hours to get tickets only to be told when we got to the ticket office that we were in the wrong queue. The queue we were in was for tickets for the Johann Cruyff testimonial game !! Needless to say our queue was only 3 or 4 deep.
Still the whole weekend was very special.
