Catalonia Calling #27 is called Thank you, Johan Cruyff, the Flying Dutchman and is my personal homage to the great Dutch footballer, who both played for and coached FC Barcelona.
He was also a childhood hero - he was considered the best player in the world when I was really getting in to football.
Obviously, his contribution to the resuscitation of FC Barcelona was immense but had it not been for his magnificent Dream Team, which began shortly after my arrival in Barcelona in 1988, I may never have become a culer at all.
I feel an enormous amount of personal gratitude so Thank you Johan Cruyff, the Flying Duchman!
By the way, I'm in Sant Andreu to Llavaneres this weekend - hence the change of scenery.
