Johan Cruyff diagnosed with lungs cancer

Dutch legend Johan Cruyff was believed to have missed the 1978 World Cup because of a political boycott, but in 2008 he revealed that his decision to stay away from a tournament where his nation reached the final was because of a kidnap threat against him in 1977.


Johan Cruyff is not a player of this generation but have seen few highlights from way back and i think he's very good. He's one of Europe's finest footballers of all time. He won three consecutive European Cups with Ajax and helped Netherlands reach  the 1974 World Cup final, he is diagnosed with lungs cancer, has been undergoing medical tests at a hospital in Barcelona. The examinations are still ongoing. He did an operation in the past also, he was a smoker. I pray he gets better.
