Cruyff was a truly magical player could play virtually any position on the pitch he would orchestrate his team mates as captain of a remarkable Dutch side in the 1970s.I can still remember him in the first minute of the 1974 world cup final running through the entire German midfield and defence and winning a penalty

Best was undoubtedly a great player , he was also a mug who wasted the 2nd chance he was given 🤔 He had an Illness, I don’t think you choose to be an alcoholic, it chooses you. |

Happened to many players of that era, a smoking and drinking culture prevailed in most football clubs. Jimmy Greaves was another great player who's career should have lasted a lot longer if he had not become an alcoholic. In the 50s and 60s many average working class men where I lived in a country area, on most nights of the week, came in from work, had their dinner, cleaned up then went straight down their local pub till chucking out time. Saturdays night many would go to the pub and would take their wives with them. A drinking and smoking culture in those days, it was just normal for most men and many women smoked as well, most smoked with non filter tipped fags. My mum smoked 20 non filtered Wills Goldflakes a day. She also liked a regular drop of brandy and when stressed I find a drop of Brandy is also good for me. |

I've just bought a couple of litres of Spanish brandy ( Terrys ) back from Majorca, its only 30 proof but perfectly drinkable at 8 quid a litre 🤔 |

Lidl brandy is good at £11,99 FOR 70CL AND 36% proof. Both Aldi and Lidl do good wines and spirits for reasonable prices. |
