Hosannah! Dutch scientific journalist Carl Koppeschaar has finally succeeded in
his quest to see an asteroid renamed in honour of Holland legend Johann
Cruyff.
The asteroid was originally named '14282′ when it was discovered by Dutch astrologists back in

rock will be forever known as 'Cruijff'.

A lanciarli è un personaggio che, da calciatore, è stato uno dei più grandi tulipani di sempre,
oltre che uno dei piĂą grandi calciatori di tutti i tempi.
I know we are being flooded by Cristiano Ronaldo articles just about now, but this is
actually meant to be a response to abrilliant article posted earlier in the
week.
I am a Manchester United fan. I am devastated. No. Scratch that. I knew this was going to happen
– we all did.
