between my house and the Camp Nou''. Rexach has the second most caps for the

with 53
goals Major Honors: Spanish Cup 1978, European Cup Winners Cup 1979 International Record: 49 games and 17 goals If Cruyff was the thoroughbred of the great
Dutch side of the 1970s, his compatriot Johan Neeskens was the Orangeman’s conscience, a midfield workhorse who labored diligently to create opportunities for the master up front. Neeskens joined Cruyff and coach Rinus Michels after Holland had seduced a worldwide audience at the 1974 World Cup. The Dutch trio were seen as the foundation for a serious European Cup bid in 1974-1975.

(El Tel) Terry Venables once described him as ‘’the best player I have ever coached’’. He joined Barcelona in 1980 after his coming-of-age at the European Championships in Italy. The German ace was awe-inspiring as Barcelona lost just two league games coming ten points clear of second placed Atletico de Madrid.
