Cruyff!! playing for Barcelona in about 1977
Absolutely, best performance anywhere by a player that I have seen 'in the flesh'. He scored 2 goals to put Barca 2-0 up, was substituted & received the only standing ovation for an opposing player that I have witnessed and Alan Evans came on as a late substitute to inspire us to an undeserved 2-2 draw. In the return leg, we were 1-0 up, John Gidman got sent off when we were 1-0 up and we ended up losing 2-1 on the night. By the way, I think that you'll find it was 1978.
As I have mentioned in previous posts about greatest games / goals seen at VP, Cruyf's 2nd goal was probably the best goal I ever saw - Better then Maradonna's dribble through the England midfield and defenec in Mexico 1986.
