Captained by the masterful Johan Cruyff, the Netherlands turned Wembley orange with a tremendous display which saw the visitors cheered off by England fans at half-time. Cruyff was at his sparkling best as a brace from Jan Peters sealed the win before the break. Don Revie’s side included the likes of Kevin Keegan and Trevor Brooking, but they were left chasing shadows as Total Football arrived in London.
