Sad loss, too young again. RIP. Title: Re: Socrates Dies Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, December 4, 2011, 12:36:43 Fantastically elegant classy midfielder, was a real star of the 80s Brazil teams.
I remember him playing for Garforth Town in 2004 for one game and he did look like he had let himself go a little but then again he was 50 at the time! Sadly missed hugely talented footballer RIP.
