Watchmojo are you high? WTF prompted you to exclude Johan Cruyff(RIP) from this list?!! He is THE most impactful person in Barca's history. He was compared to pele his entire playing career and he completely revolutionised barcelona and ajax as a manager. Not even an honourable mention?!! You've gotta be kidding me!!

[jdesain]

Johan Cruijff number 1, how can you miss him.

[Letmeusethishandlepleasr]

Johan Cruyff. Just shows this channel knows nothing

[fernspain]

No Cruyff? Johan is the most important figure in the history of football. Not only for beeing one of the 4 greats, but along with Sacchi he changed the game forever. Not only the destiny of Barcelona, but football itself, he's style became a motor for the tactic revolution of the 90's that defines today's football. Shame on you Watchmojo.

[williamohman]

How the hell isn't Cruyff number 1?

[tonyable]

No Johan Cruyff? Really? One of the most successful players/coaches of all time.

[eduardomendoza]

How did they forget about Johann Cruyff?]

[Chtud]

How the actual f*ck can you forget one of the best athletes ever.
He changed the game and understood the game like no other player/coach
May he rest in peace:
Johan Cruijff #14

[JohnWing]

Steve Kerr will be on this list in a few years

[danielkhokhlovich]

Johan Cruyf?! He was one of the best footballers in the 20 century winning 3 golden balls and as a coach he managed not only to win trophies but he had created a unique system of playing that completely changed the understanding of the game. That system still works and football community owes him a lot.
Top Mojo, I know you are 'mericans, but please, next time discuss that kind of top with someone who understands football, you put Pep Guardiola, that actually was using Johan's idea, but didn't include Johan himself. That's dumb.
