Former North American Soccer League club Los Angeles Aztecs, of course.<\/p>\n<p>The once California-based club was part-owned by Elton John (so he was technically also George Best&#8217;s boss for a spell) up till 1976. A couple years later, they would sign Cruyff for the 78\/79 season. And sorry to disappoint any Watford fans reading, but Cruyff did not don the Hornet colours during some secret exhibition game arranged by Sir Elton.<\/p>\n<p>This is an extreme example, of course.
