Brian looks at the life and legacy of the magnetic, balletic, and baffling Dutch midfielder Johan Cruyff, who helped transform soccer in the 1960s and ’70s by ushering in the era of Total Football. How did a team that failed to win the World Cup become more influential than many teams that won? Also: Does Bob Dylan know how to drive? A very special ‘22 Goals’ investigation.
