Fierce Genius : Cruyff'S Year at Feyenoord Hardback
by ANDY BOLLEN
Hardback
Description
In 1983, aged 36, Johan Cruyff, one of the world's most iconic football superstars, guided Ajax to a league and cup double.
Out of contract, most people, including the player, expected a valedictory final season and a one-year extension.
Inexplicably, Ajax let him go. They grossly underestimated the fierce genius of Johan Cruyff.
He signed for bitter rivals Feyenoord, leading them to a league and cup double, silencing his critics and thrilling football fans everywhere.
Fierce Genius analyses this incredible season, as he evolves from player to coach.
It is a fascinating insight into his professional and private life.
Imperious on the park, off it, he dealt with kidnappings and bankruptcy after being defrauded by a conman.
Bollen gets inside Cruyff's mind, helping the reader understand the mentality which made him a top player and successful coach.
Fierce Genius: Cruyff's Year at Feyenoord is compelling, insightful and poignant.
Written with a journalistic tone, by an accomplished comedy writer, this is a warm, affectionate and informative portrait of one of world football's greats.
