The first soccer World Cup I can remember was the 1978 tournament in Argentina. Mario Kempes and his long black curly locks combined with his winning goal provided the iconic moments from that final in Buenos Aries. But my abiding memories of that tournament were how it was lit up by the Dutch and their brilliant brand of Total Football.
I was too young to remember that unique style patented by Johan Cruyff and his team-mates in 1974 but I was always fascinated by that Dutch team, and how they gloriously transformed the game. I didn’t know what the term ‘Total Football’ meant at the time but I can recall being intrigued by the phrase.
