Manchester United and Holland midfielder Memphis Depay has paid a touching tribute to Dutch legend Johan Cruyff following his death today.
memphisdepayRecently I heard someone say; when I’m abroad and tell people I’m from Holland, they say the country that’s famous for its tulips and for Johan Cruyff. That’s something that will always remain the same. A true legend, who’s no longer with us. It’s a sad day.
Depay wasn’t the only footballer to convey his sadness as former United player David Beckham also posted a message to the family and friends of Cruyff .
davidbeckhamMy thoughts and love are with the friends and family of not just one of the best footballers in the history of the game but also one of the greatest men and nicest person you could meet … The game lost a true hero today ?? Rest In Peace @fcbarcelona @england
