The Velvet Revolution
from The Blizzard Hosted by The Blizzard
"Little did people know that Cruyff's column would have a profound impact and lead to the so-called 'Velvet Revolution', which would soon become bloody. That it would lead to ugly court cases and yet another showdown between Cruyff and Van Gaal, forcing fans to pick either their mother or their father in a bitter divorce case". In episode Twenty we look back to Elko Born's 'The Velvet Revolution' from Issue Fourteen, which details the struggle for power at the top of Ajax, arguably for the soul of Dutch football itself, and the fallout from Cruyff and Van Gaal's, er, fallout.
