68 years young. RIP...

Awwwww man. Still the greatest European player of all time for me. Almost single handedly destroyed Shankly's first great side as a kid 5-1 in Amsterdam. And a man that was WAY ahead of his years in coaching in how he completely revolutionised Ajax, taking it on from even what Michels had done, and Barcelona. So many, LVG, Rijkaard etc etc benefited from his groundwork.

Absolute all time World Legend.

Knew he had cancer. Didn't realise it was so severe and imminent. Real sad loss.

God rest.

Last time he talked about his lung cancer he said it was going well and he felt he was 2-0 ahead at Half Time, but the match wasn't over yet.

Rest in peace, Legend.

Good. Dirty lil' nonce will probably be out in 3, but I doubt any club touches him ever again. Certainly over here.

Maximum reduction of 10% because of how he submitted his pleas, so he will be in for 5 and half years minimum. Whilst that's good, it does show how ****** the justice system is when we've had members of grooming gangs getting away with 3 just because they plead guilty.

And thats such a sad situation. He will serve his time yet he cannot go back to a profession he spent his entire live training for. Probably true for most offenders out there and the government wonders why our re-offending rates are so high

On the plus side if he serves half his sentence for good behaviour, he'll be able to go to her 18th and goose her legally.

Too soon? :P.

He can only blame himself for choosing the wrong profession. Should have become a catholic priest.
 
Johan Cruyff, what a legend, I remember seeing the Cruyff turn for the first time as a teen on the football pitch and just being like what the **** was that, I use to play DM and was doing my full back cover duty and got completely turned inside out. Then being the absolute nerd that I am I had to dig through books, old footage and documentaries to find out more about him.

Absolute legend of a player, if he had been in the modern era would have been even better with the protection players get now, and he will have always left his mark on the game with the Cruyff turn, not a bad manager/coach either, heavily influenced by Rinus Michels from his playing days he had a massive influence in bringing Totahl Voetbal philosophy into the modern era of football.

One of the finest Europe has ever produced but will always be second to Zizou for me because well its Zinedine ************* Zidane.

But alas the football world is a poorer place without him, always interesting to listen too even in his old age.

Pretty cool by Feyenoord and Sparta fans!
 
Rémi Garde has left Aston Villa by mutual consent
 
Newcastle keeper Rob Elliot ruled out for at least 6 months with knee injury suffered last night.

Massive blow for their relegation battle
 
Martin Demichelis: Manchester City defender charged over betting offences

Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis has been charged by the Football Association over alleged betting offences.


The Argentine, 35, is accused of committing 12 breaches relating to matches between 22 and 28 January 2016.


Demichelis has until 17:00 BST on 5 April to respond to the charge.


However, there is no suggestion that the charge relates to any of the 25 league and cup games in which he has featured for City this season.


New rules that came into force for the 2014-15 season mean players and coaches are prevented from betting on any worldwide footballing activity.


The FA has the power to fine or suspend any person found guilty of a rule breach.
