Smiling faces were all around as Sjaak Swart opened his Cruyff Court in Amsterdam. Before he did that, we took a tour through Betondorp, the neighbourhood where Swart grew up. We also spoke to him about how he stays fit, his youth, his friendship with Johan Cruijff, and growing up with him. "When he was nine, I would watch him play football on Saturdays. You could already see how good he was."
