Johan Neeskins - RIP

That 78 world cup was the first I properly remember and he was one of those names from it.

As a kid at the time there were three names I remember us shouting as we scored.

'Kempes!' for a proper 1 on 1 strikers goal.

'Neeskens!' when it was a screamer from outside the box

and

'Gemmill!' when it was a magnificent twisty, turny, beat three players, dink it over the keeper futile effort for a bunch of losers.
