    Saw him completely dominate a game for Barcelona against Aston Villa in 1978 in the old UEFA cup.
    Scored the opener and set up a second late on before being subbed with 10 minutes or so left. Villa promptly scored twice!
    I forgot to mention that Leighton Phillips was one of the Villa players who completely failed to get anywhere near him on the night!

    lol - Leighton Phillips was one of my Dad's favourite players I'd have loved to have seen Cruyff play.

    I saw Maradona play but in a rubbish friendly at Wembley, but Klinsmann for West Germany vs Holland in the San Siro in the 1990 WC was the best individual striker's performance that I have witnessed, Cardiff City and Wales players excluded, obviously.
