Johan Cruyff: Always on the Attack

The definitive biography of Johan Cruyff, the most influential European footballer of all time

Reviews

'This terrific biography... Since his death, [Cruyff's] status had grown to that of a demi-god in both Amsterdam and Barcelona, but as Auke Kok's well-researched, well-written book reveals, he was troubled and sulphurous, too. Kok is one of the Netherlands' most respected journalists, and his Cruyff emerges as a vulnerable, isolated and often tragic figure... Kok provides any number of revealing insights into his original thinking and methods.' -- David Winner, author of Brilliant Orange * Irish Independent *
'Deeply researched...nicely written, and manages to get inside Cruyff's very bizarre head' -- Simon Kuper, author of Football Against the Enemy and Barca
