RIP Socrates...

Absolutely gutted to hear this. A personal hero of mine, and by that I mean beyond golden childhood memories of Naranjito, Espana '82 and that Brazil side and well into adulthood.

What a shitty week this has been.

I was 7 years old when I watched the '82 World Cup and almost 30 years on I still remember so many of that Brazilian side. Socrates and Zico, Eder and Falcao, Junior and Cerezo (and that lumbering galoot Serginho up front). Socrates was just impossibly cool - those bright yellow shirts, tall & elegant, cool beard, and goals like this

And just look at this give-and-go with Zico

Now why do I remember Socrates and Zico and hardly anything about the side that won in 1994? Because the 1994 side were dull, dull, dull. The '82 side was glamorous.
Sometimes it's not about trophies and medals. Great sides and great players give you memories that last for years.
And Socrates was truly great.
Rest In Peace.

Absolutely. For anyone old enough to remember, that Brazilian side was the most memorable of all since then until now.

When proper footballers...,and Serginho, were the norm and not the exception.

He lived his life the way that Brasil team played football. Enjoying himself and not caring about the result.

RIP Socrates. A Legend on and off the pitch. the world will be a poor place without you and football with one less legendary character.

Couldn't have put it better myself. RIP Socrates

1982 was the World Cup as far as I am concerned. Loved the Brasil side Socrates graced. A maverick, the world needs more people of his ilk. RIP Socrates.

an extract from a new book on Socrates:-

www.theguardian.com/football/2017/mar/09/socrates-brazil-goal-orgasm-unforgettable-1982-world-cup

'Doctor Socrates' by Andrew Downie (https://twitter.com/adowniebrazil), published by Simon & Schuster. Hardback is £20.00. Available at the Guardian bookshop for £17:-

https://bookshop.theguardian.com/doctor-socrates.html

The foreword is by Johan Cruyff.

^ If the content is as good as the cover it'll be a superb book

Extract:

The other dilemma came in midfield, where Telê was unsure whether to play a 4-4-2 with Falcão, Cerezo, Sócrates and Zico together in the middle of the park, or whether to withdraw one of them and opt for more width up front by playing Grêmio winger Paulo Isidoro alongside Serginho and Éder.

He appeared to be going for the latter option in the final warm-up games in May, with Paulo Isidoro starting all three and the quartet only managing 20 minutes of the final game, a 7-0 drubbing of the Republic of Ireland that could have been twice that.

Italy were the qualifying team from that group - and went on to win the World Cup (beating Poland 2-0 in the semi-final, and beating West Germany 3-1 in the Final).

Why the sudden bump Jase?

Trying to get the nephews into him, and watching some older matches too. A footballer for them to actually look up to - flawed... but fought for what was right.

A few recently-made videos surfacing of Socrates with rare or unseen footage too, mate.

And some of these youtubers who make such videos, finally getting into Socrates and compiling some fine quality efforts (if the music in them still leaves much to be desired!

)...

'Socrates, the Doctor of Football | Skills, Assists & Goals' - a top video highlighting Socrates and what he was about... but needs watching on mute!:-

Those 2 Russians are still probably wondering where he went with the ball. Before he smashed it past Dasayev. Still one of my favourite goals of all time and thats a game with Eders cracker in it as well.

Ha what a World Cup that was!

Any mention of Eder always makes me smile, He scored some utter worldies, but I remember that every time the commentator said the name "Eder", me arl fella would sing "you with the stars in your eyes."
