THE Cruyff legend lives again and now England must revive their own traditions against the Scots on Saturday or risk anihilation in this desperate qualifying Group A.
Jordi, the 22 year old son of the great Johan, united a Dutch camp riven by dissent and depression with a stunning 66th minute strike against Switzerland at Villa Park.
The Barcelona youngster adopted the name of a Catalan saint to try to escape the heavy hand of family expectation.
But his first goal in his fifth appearance now sets him off in his father's footsteps just 32 more goals to match Johan's haul from 48 Dutch caps.
This will rank among the most valuable in the family vault, lifting the 1988 champions who did exactly what England could not do at Wembley on Saturday by finishing off the Swiss.
Arsenal star Dennis Bergkamp grabbed the vital second, his 25th international goal but only his third in two years finally taking him above Marco Van Basten in the Dutch scoring charts.
More importantly, it puts Gus Hiddink's side firmly in control of the group and now Terry Venables' men must beat Scotland or have to beat the Dutch at Wembley next Tuesday to reach the last eight.
Scotland will be heartened though now, even if they lose to the Auld Enemy, they could squeeze through by beating Artur Jorge's men, who will be without the dangerous Marco Grassi, one of five bookings in a game played in a wonderful atmosphere.
A complete breakdown in segregation saw fans from both countries sitting in harmony, the only hairy sights the adopted uniforms bizarre wigs for the Dutch, huge Jorge like moustaches for the Swiss. They drooped resignedly when Marc Hottiger, Everton's new defender, missed a glorious chance in the third minute of the second half.
Turkyilmaz's mazy run across the edge of the box finished with a perceptive pass that put the former Newcastle player in on goal. But, though he turned onto the chance perfectly, he hoisted the shot towards the upper tier of the Orange filled North Stand.
It was a great let off for the Dutch, whose performance up to then was more clog than class.
But it often takes one moment to ignite a team's tournament and Jordi provided it. Swiss goalkeeper Marco Pascolo recklessly plunged towards the penalty spot to stretch his left fingertips to Ronald de Boer's corner.
He was always struggling to regain his line as the ball flew to the Barca winger on the edge of the area and his left foot drilled his shot inside the near post and the flailing keeper.
Dutch goalkeeper Edwin Van der Sar was just as much a hero as Bergkamp for the second with a fantastic drop kick that allowed the striker to escape clear of Yvan Quentin.
Just before, he had been in on Pascolo and allowed the Swiss to spread himself and block. The heavily criticised Highbury star seemed set for more torture when the same thing happened again.
This time, though, he snapped up the rebound and his right foot drilled in a goal every bit as priceless for the player as Alan Shearer's was at the weekend.
Danny Blind was restored in defence after suspension, Aron Winter in midfield and 23 year old Peter Hoekstra on the left, allowing Cruyff to switch to his more favoured right wing.
Clarence Seedorf, usually the inspiration, was a dejected figure, his retreat to deep mirroring the emotions of a camp allegedly riven by the axing of Edgar Davids.
Booked for a foul on Marco Grassi, he then cut down Turkyilmaz as he broke on an angled run away from goal the Bulgarian referee ducked the big decision, but not Hiddink who yanked off the unhappy Sampdoria star in the 26th minute, It was not until the 59th minute that the Dutch hit the target, but though Cruyff's powerful downward header from Hoekstra's left wing cross beat Pascolo, Stephane Henchoz acrobatically cleared off the line.
