‘je gaat het pas zien als je het door hebt’ (johan cruijff)
An asteroid discovered by Dutch astronomers in 1960 has been named after Netherlands football legend Johan Cruijff, that reports Voetbal International. The completely inconsequential piece of space rock was originally named ’14282′ but now, thanks to the relentless work of science journalist Carl Koppeschaar’s, the asteroid will forever be known as ‘Cruijff’. It has a diameter of about nine kilometres and it takes the asteroid five years, three months and 18 days to turn around the sun.
The former Ajax and Barcelona star joins an elite group of players to have celestial bodies named after them like Czech striker Josef Bican and Hungarian virtuoso Ferenc Puskas.
