From Johan Cruyff to Virgil van Dijk, the Netherlands have consistently produced some of the planet’s best footballers of the past 50 or so years.

With Ajax icon Cruyff as the poster boy for both club and country, the Dutch pioneered the ‘Total Football’ strategy in the 1970s, changing the game forever, with the likes Ruud Gullit, Marco van Basten and Frank Rijkaard forming the backbone of their next great side.

A third World Cup final appearance came in 2010, while at club level, a host of Dutch players and teams have been crowned European champions. All of which gives us plenty of material for a fiendishly difficult FourFourTwo quiz!
