Piet de Visser ...... (secret scout for Roman Abramovic and PSV)..... he always comes across as a very knowledgable, down to earth, and interesting guy.ajaxusa schreef:At dinner last night, my son Sean asked me what I thought was a pretty interesting question:
"If you could spend one day playing soccer and hanging out with one famous soccer player, who would it be?"
I asked him to clarify, and he said it would just be kicking the ball around and hanging out all day. No entourage, no big games or anything. It's a ten-year-old's vision of a perfect day with a football hero, and I thought it was f*cking great, beautifully simple and sweet.
But then.. I was stumped! Who would I choose?
His only stipulation was that the player had to still be alive. (That rules out Eddy Hamel and George Best.) I was thinking... someone intellectually interesting, not too uptight or insane (that rules out Maradona, I'm afraid).
Johan Cruyff? Jari Litmanen? Beckenbauer?!
If he was unavailable....Cruyff's always got something original to say .....
