The Netherlands' best can't possibly be someone else than Cruijff. Van Basten, Rijkaard, Neeskens don't even come close to what Cruijff meant for Dutch football.

I second that. Those were good (I really like Neeskens) but Cruyff is the king of the Dutch football.

Stefano was born in Argetina but he turned to Spain. He never played in the argentinian NT.


e: BTW, it's Zubizarreta

@ Bozi: Was Archie Gemmill any good? I remember when I saw his goal in Trainspotting. That goal was awsome, btw.

aye i knew some of my spelling was a bit off, also though de stafano never played for argentina i feel he is still argentinian, as is camo. a scotsman may go play for sierra leon but he is still a scotsman

archie gemmil scored one of THE great world cup goals and was a good player but not a great by any stretch of the imagination
