On this day in 1954, Sócrates was born. He captained Brazil at the 1982 World Cup, overall he was capped 60 times scoring 22 goals. Happy birthday to him!
In his club career, he scored 114 goals in 162 apps.
By the way, Sócrates was a physician, a rare achievement for a professional footballer. Even rarer is the fact that he earned the degree while concurrently playing professional football. After retiring as a player he practiced medicine at Ribeirão Preto.

People talk about Xavi of Barcelona. Well here's the original no8 genius. The guy who defined it all. Never seen a player with such elegance combined with vision, technical touch and artistry. there'll never be another like him.
