Johan Cruyff's father-in-law dies at 70
Friday 01 October 2008
Cor Coster, father-in-law of Johan
Cruyff has died at the age of 70.
Coster had been seriously ill for
some time.
Coster, an Amsterdam business man,
became known in the late sixties and early seventies
as the agent of Johan Cruyff.
His daughter Danny married Johan
Cruyff on 2 December 1968.
Coster was one of the first player
agents in football and also handled the transfer of
Johan Neeskens from Ajax to Barcelona in 1974.
It was also thanks to the efforts
of Cor Coster that Dutch football players started making
more money when playing for the national team.
Besides having a famous son-in-law
Coster kept a low profile and rarely gave interviews.
The marriage of his daughter Danny
and Johan Cruyff is said to have been a happy one for
almost forty years.
Cruyff and his wife have three
children: Chantal (37), Susila (36) and Jordi (34).
