Dutch Football Legend Johan Cruyff Dies From lung cancer

Dutch soccer legend Johan Cruyff, who changed the sport forever with the concept of "Total Football," has passed away at the age of 68. A family spokeswoman confirmed to The Associated Press that Cruyff died as a result of lung cancer. Cruyff only last month said his recovery was going well, adding, "I have the feeling that I am 2-0 up in the first half. The game is not over yet. Still I know that in the end, I will win." Cruyff won three European championships with Dutch soccer club Ajax as a player and once with Spanish club Barcelona as a coach. He was voted European player of the year three times and, in 1999, was named Europe's best player of the 20th century.
