What a team he played in. Cruyff, rensenbrink, haan, Krol, rep, van de kherkof twins, neeskens etc my fave team of all time. Rip robbie
I don't remember this guy but I loved watching that 1978 world cup team with many of the others you listedWhat a team he played in. Cruyff, rensenbrink, haan, Krol, rep, van de kherkof twins, neeskens etc my fave team of all time. Rip robbie
Those of us who witnessed the Dutch team of the 70s who were robbed by some fucking whistling wanking butcher from Wolverhampton who, I'm sure, had a German grandmother, will never forget them.
Love it Dave. I couldn't have put it any better myself. Us FOCs are lucky in that we got to see 2 of the greatest teams ever to play football. Holland in 74 and 78, and Brazil in 1970.I won't. Anybody who saw that Dutch side and the way they played football could not fail to be impressed, It was breathtaking. Every player was of the ilk of KdB - an inside forward. Even the goalie could have come out and played on the wing!
RIP Rob. What a team - never been the like since!
You left out Van Hanegem, who Cruyff told me was the best player he'd ever played alongside.What a team he played in. Cruyff, rensenbrink, haan, Krol, rep, van de kherkof twins, neeskens etc my fave team of all time. Rip robbie
Which Dutch team in the 70s came to Wembley and gave England a lesson. I seem to recall Dave Watson and A N Other played centre as 2 centre halves. The press were saying nobody will get past them so Holland played without a centre forward, Watson and his partner did not know what was going on. Hope my memory is not playing tricks, suppose someone will let me know!
