Johan Neeskens' death means five of the Dutch 1974 World Cup final starting XI are still alive (Rijsbergen, Haan, Krol, van Hanegem, Rep)

That’s sad. Even in that team Neeskens was a standout.

Amazing that van Hanegem is still kicking about, he looked about 55 even back then.

Fairly sure he described his penalty taking style as to hit the ball as hard as possible... none of this mind game stuff

Cockiness cost the Dutch both the World Cup and the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974. Never take the piss out the Germans on a football field unless you're at least four goals to the good. Never clown about and make "nudge nudge" references about smoking dope in front of po-faced Eurovision judges.

Maybe the greatest team of all time
