'Cruyff has passed away when we need him most'
Tributes have been pouring in to the great Johan Cruyff who has passed away at the age of 68. Raymond Verheijen has been an assistant manager to three Dutch national coaches but never Cruyff. So why did he never manage the national team? What will his legacy be and how much of an inspiration was Cruyff to a generation of coaches? Verheijen tells Sport Today's Steve Crossman about how the little genius changed the face of Dutch football.
