Dutch soccer great Johan Cruyff, who revolutionized the game with the concept of "Total Football," has died. He was 68.
Family spokeswoman Carole Thate confirmed to The Associated Press that Cruyff had died. Joaquin Mu**z of the Cruyff Foundation in Barcelona said he died as a result of lung cancer.
Obsessed by football to the end and ever the positive thinker, Cruyff only last month said his recovery was going well. He said "I have the feeling that I am 2-0 up in the first half. The game is **t over yet. Still I k**w that in the end, I will win." On Thursday, he died.
