Hendrik Johannes Cruijff (Dutch pronunciation:[joɑn krœyf] About this sound pronunciation (help·info)); born 25 April 1947 in Amsterdam), known as Johan Cruyff, is a retired Dutch footballer and is currently the manager of the Catalan national team. He won the Ballon d’Or three times, in 1971, 1973 and 1974, which is a record jointly held with Michel Platini and Marco van Basten. Cruyff was one of the most famous exponents of the football philosophy known as Total Football explored by Rinus Michels, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. After his retirement from playing in 1984, Cruyff became highly successful as manager of Ajax and later FC Barcelona; he remains an influential advisor to both clubs. His son Jordi has also gone on to play football professionally.
In 1999, Cruyff was voted European Player of the Century in an election held by the IFFHS, and came second behind Pelé in their World Player of the Century poll. He came third in a vote organised by the French weekly magazine France Football consulting their former Ballon d’Or winners to elect their Football Player of the Century.

Hristo Stoichkov began his career in his hometown, moving to Hebros in 1984. The next year he went to CSKA Sofia. There, he was involved in a fight during the final of the 1985 Bulgarian Cup which resulted in his suspension. After he was brought back to football, he managed to win the European Golden Boot with CSKA by scoring 38 goals in 30 games. He then moved on to FC Barcelona, where he was part of Johan Cruyff’s ‘Dream Team’, Stoichkov helped Barcelona to one of the most successful era of the club, winning the Primera Division four years in a row between 1991 and 1994 and the European Cup after defeating Sampdoria in 1992. During his stay in Barcelona, he had become an idol for the club’s fans, and was Barça’s most popular player at the time, having earned a place in the supporters’ hearts much like Johan Neeskens and Diego Maradona in the past. In Barcelona Stoichkov played in tandem with Romário.
In his first season with the club Stoichkov was suspended for two months for stomping on a referee’s foot, but he still netted 14 league goals and six more in the Cup Winners’ Cup. Stoichkov then had short spells with Parma, Al-Nassr, and finally finishing his career in Japan with Kashiwa Reysol and the United States with the Chicago Fire and D.C. United.

After retiring as a player, Guardiola became coach of FC Barcelona B. On 8 May 2008, Barcelona president Joan Laporta announced that Guardiola would succeed Frank Rijkaard as the first team manager. He signed his contract on 5 June 2008. In his first season as manager, Barcelona won the treble of La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Champions League. In doing so, Guardiola became the youngest UEFA Champions League winning manager ever. The following season, Guardiola and Barcelona won the Supercopa de España against Athletic Club Bilbao, the UEFA Super Cup against Shakhtar Donetsk, and the FIFA Club World Cup against Estudiantes, bringing the manager’s tally to the maximum of six trophies in six competitions in one year, thus completing the first ever sextuple.

After playing with Cádiz CF from 1971–73, Migueli transferred to La Liga giants FC Barcelona, where he became an undisputed starter, after just one league appearance in his first year, going on to amass 391 games in the competition (549 overall, club’s all-time best until 5 January 2011, when midfielder Xavi surpassed him in a Copa del Rey match against Athletic Bilbao).
In the 1978–79 European Cup Winners’ Cup final against Fortuna Düsseldorf, Migueli played parts of the match – which went to extra time – with a broken collarbone, in an eventual 4–3 success.
In 1986–87, already well into his 30′s, he still managed to appear in 41 matches (38 complete), and retired at the end of the next season, in which he added another domestic cup. He then worked with the club’s coaching staffs, in the Joan Gaspart presidency.
Migueli earned 32 caps and scored one goal for Spain, his debut coming on 20 November 1974, a 2–1 win in Scotland for the UEFA Euro 1976 qualifiers.
He represented the nation at the 1978 FIFA World Cup and Euro 1980 – four matches in total.
paulino Alcántara (Iloilo, Philipines, 1896 – Barcelona, 1964) is the highest goal scorer in the club’s history with 357 goals in 357 games.
His characteristic deceptive appearance made him popular with the fans to the point of being the first star of the club in the golden ages of the twenties, alongside Samitier, Zamora, Sagi, Piera and many more.
alcantara_movHis ability to hit the most powerful of shots crossed frontiers on the 30th April 1922 when, in a game between Spain and France, he hit a shot so hard that it ripped right through the net. For many years after, children from Barcelona would recall that moment and would wish to do the same as the man from the Philipines.
He hung up his boots on the 5th July 1927 in order to become a doctor. However, this was not his goodbye to football. He was on the board of directors between 1931 and 1934 and Alcántara was one of the first footballers to write memoirs of his playing days.
