A minute's silence is planned for the 14th minute of Holland v France tomorrow night in a tribute to Johan Cruyff.
The football world was rocked today at the news of the Dutch legend's passing after a hard-fought battle with lung cancer. Tributes have been flooding in from every corner of the game - and his death won't be felt harder anywhere than in his country.
Danny Blind's team aren't heading to Euro 2016 so tomorrow night's game against the French holds no important for them in terms of preparation. But it's now taken on a real significance with the death of Holland's greatest ever player.

It's been confirmed by KNVB - the Dutch football association - that there will be a 14th-minute silence inside Ajax's Amsterdam Arena when Blind's men take on France:
It's sure to be a highly emotional night as Dutch football remembers a true icon for the game.
Aside from the tribute to Cruyff, it should be an entertaining game as a talented French team take on a Holland team hurt after their failure to reach the Euros this summer.
