The late Johan Cruyff’s who died at the age of 68 made a mesmeric turn at the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund has gone down in history as one of football’s most stunning moments as the Holland forward feigned to go one way but twisted the other,
leaving a befuddled Olsson staring into space.

The match ended 0-0 but the ‘Cruyff turn’ would become a defining image of the Dutch side in the 1970s, who lost to West Germany in the 1974 final and are considered one of the most exciting and inventive teams of all time.
The receiver of this great turn Jan Olsson was 32 when he was deceived by Cruyff’s moment of magic and, almost 42 years on, the former right-back recalls the reaction following the game.
“My team-mates after the game, we looked at each other, they started to laugh and I do the same,” Olsson told Press Association.
“I laughed then and I laugh now. It was very funny. He was a world-class player. I do my best but I was not a world-class player.
