In soccer (i.e., Association Football), the expression Cruyff turn, and its variants, denote a manoeuvre used by one player to evade another, in which the player with the ball feints a pass while facing in one direction before immediately dragging the ball behind and across his or her standing leg with the other foot, turning, and moving away in the opposite direction.

This expression occurs, for example, in the account, by Scott Murray, of a match between Southampton and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, published in The Guardian (London and Manchester, England) of Tuesday 31^st January 2023:

67 min: Murphy nearly closes down Bazunu, who takes an age over a kick upfield. Bazunu gets himself out of bother with a cute Cruyff Turn, but the Saints keeper was flirting with danger there.

The expression Cruyff turn refers to the Dutch football player and manager Johan Cruyff (Hendrik Johannes Cruijff – 1947-2016), who first brought this manoeuvre to public attention by performing it during the 1974 FIFA World Cup in West Germany.
—For more details, cf. What is a Cruyff Turn?, by Finbarr Sheehy and Scott Murray, published in The Guardian (London and Manchester, England) of Thursday 24 March 2016:

The earliest occurrences of the expression Cruyff turn and variants that I have found are as follows, in chronological order:

1-: From Practice indoors and help your skills, by Ray Hall, Merseyside Football Development Officer, published in the Liverpool Echo (Liverpool, Merseyside, England) of Saturday 13^th February 1988:

The cold weather and school half term holidays provide an excellent opportunity for courses to be held indoors which will help develop young players to become more comfortable with the ball and eventually become a better all-round player.
[…]
The courses are designed for all boys and girls aged seven to 14 interested in football and wishing to receive coaching from qualified F. A. coaches.
They will concentrate on improving techniques involved in quickening up the movement of feet, turning and beating an opponent.
We all learn by copying great players and their ideas. How many thousands of players hew copied the “Cruyff turn” which the Dutch master first used in a World Cup match against Brazil in 1974?

2 & 3-: From the Liverpool Echo (Liverpool, Merseyside, England) of Thursday 10^th November 1988:

2-: From the presentation, by Ken Rogers, of the Soccer Star scheme, a soccer education programme for boys and girls aged 6 to 16, developed by the Football Association:

Famous Dutch star Johann Cruyff, currently manager of Spanish giants Barcelona, was THE superstar of the Seventies. Holland developed Total Football, a system that broke down the barriers that restricted players to specific roles. Cruyff terrorised defences with a vision and perception that won him acclaim.
The “Cruyff Turn” is just one of the skills youngsters will be urged to master when they take the “Soccer Star” tests which deal with running with the ball, passing and control, changing direction, heading and dribbling—all vital soccer qualities.

3-: From the following illustration, showing how to perform the Cruyff turn:

IN THE 1970s BRILLIANT DUTCH SUPERSTAR JOHANN CRUYFF DEVELOPED A DEVASTATING NEW TECHNIQUE OF TURNING TO LOSE AN OPPONENT
THE CRUYFF TURN
THE KEY FACTORS ARE:
AN EXAGGERATED FEINT TO KICK THE BALL—MAKE A BIG PRETENCE OF IT
INSTEAD PLAY THE BALL THROUGH YOUR OWN LEGS AT AN ANGLE AWAY FROM THE DEFENDER BY PIVOTING ON YOUR LEFT FOOT AND FLICKING THE BALL WITH INSIDE OF RIGHT FOOT.
ACCELERATE AWAY.

4-: From the account of a match between Torquay United and Wrexham, published in the Herald Express (Torquay, Devon, England) of Wednesday 11^th April 1990:

Worthington bamboozled Mark Loram with a Johann Cruyff-style turn inside the area in the 62^nd minute and then ruined it with a wild shot wide.

5-: From Dragging the game into gutter, by David Whaley, Sports Editor, about the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy, published in  the Evening Mail (Birmingham, West Midlands, England) of Monday 25^th June 1990:

Budding World Cup stars of the future follow their heroes’ every move.
No sooner has the final whistle blown on the early evening game than mini World Cups get underway in the parks and streets.
Let them practise their Careca goal dance; emulate Paul Gascoigne’s Cruyff-like turn or believe they can bend a free kick like Maradona.
