The footballing community was rocked today by the sad passing of Johan Cruyff, one of the sport's true icons.
Tributes to the godfather of Total Football - who died aged 68 after a battle with cancer - have been pouring in all day, with the FA in his native Netherlands calling him 'the greatest Dutch footballer of all time'. In a particularly unique gesture of respect, shares in Cruyff's boyhood club Ajax have seen a notable spike in the number 14 - the shirt number synonymous with his sparkling career. It was by far the most popular volume of shares being purchased - with the increase in trading causing the club's value to rise by £5.5m before returning to normal by the end of the day. https://twitter.com/pabloortega77/status/713033522181718016Explore more on these topics:
