And Rob Rensenbrink. Cracking side. That Dutch team from the '74 to '78 era was the first foreign football team I became familiar with and played the kind of football I wanted to watch as a kid; fearless playground football.

So much better than the stodgy s hite England were serving up at the time. I was 6 in '74 and 10 by '78 but I was old enough to appreciate it for what it was. Such a pity the only things they won were admirers. RIP Johan Neeskens.
