Why he might be annoying:

    He looks like Tom Petty.
    His soccer career was nomadic, both as a player and manager.
    His tenure with the United Soccer League's South Florida Sun ended abruptly, due to the league ceasing operations mid-season (1985).
    He is considered one of the greatest soccer players never to be on a World Cup championship team.
    He was fired by Mamelodi Sundowns F.C. after he failed to post a winning record with the club.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a member of the Dutch national team that won the silver medal at the 1974 and 1978 World Cup.
    He is considered one of the greatest midfielders of all-time by soccer pundits.
    He was one of the first midfielders to employ the box-to-box technique.
    He was a fan favourite in Barcelona, despite the fact the team didn't fare well in the standings during his tenure with the team.
