Each disadvantage has its advantage
Johan Cruijff (1947-2016) has been globally recognised as one of the best footballers of all time. He was also an ‘idiosyncratic’ word artist. I have chosen his splendid statement, ‘Each disadvantage has its advantage’, to assign Johan Cruijff a position in the artwork with these words.
