Neeskens was an extraordinary mainstay of Ajax, Barcelona, and the great Dutch national team of the 1970s.

Thanks to endless stamina, great tenacity, and top-notch technical skills, he established himself as one of the strongest midfielders of his era.
Oh, calling him a midfielder is an understatement, given that he could play just as effectively in any role!
