The great man is gone, a true legend, Holland in mourning. Here a few quotes of his: (taken from the BBC website)

On football and his philosophy:

  • "Playing football is very simple, but playing simple football is the hardest thing there is."
  • "Italians can't win the game against you, but you can lose the game against the Italians."
  • "Quality without results is pointless. Results without quality is boring."
  • "It's better to go down with your own vision than with someone else's."
  • "In my teams, the goalie is the first attacker and the striker the first defender."
  • "There is only one ball, so you need to have it."
  • "Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal."

For me, he's the greatest of all time. He literally invented a new way of playing the beautiful game. I feel he didn't get the recognition he deserved.
