Football fans rose together to pay an emotional tribute to legendary footballer Johan Cruyff at a friendly match played at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday night.

In the 14th minute, England and Netherlands fans stood together and gave applause to remember the 68-year-old Dutch player and coach who lost his battle to lung cancer on Thursday (March 24).

The words "Johan Cruyff 1947-2016" were also beamed onto boards which surrounded the stadium.

During his glittering career, it was at the renowned London grounds where Cruyff won the European Cup in 1971 with Ajax Amsterdam, donning the number 14 shirt.

It was also where, as a coach, he led Barcelona to their first European success in 1992.

Fans and players held a minute's silence to pay their respects to those who died or were injured in the Brussels suicide attacks at the airport and metro station

A series of tributes have been led by the sporting world over the week, including Roy Hodgson's moving tribute to Cruyff.

He wrote in the match programme: "I'm extremely saddened by it. I think the world of football has lost one of the true legends of the game, both as a player an coach."

A minute's silence was also held before the match in memory of those who died or were injured during the deadly Brussels terrorist attacks which killed 35 people, including one British citizen.

Roy Hodgson's side wore black armbands for the match to pay their respects to those harmed in the suicide attacks.

England lost 2-1 to the Dutch side.
