How good was Socrates actually? #GOAT
New video about one of the most controversial and naturally talented players we've seen over the 1980's in football. In this episode we take on Socrates who played for Santos, Flamengo, Brazil, Corinthians for most of his career.

Hey, if you're watching this video, I really recommend you watch the end, even if you won't be watching the full thing, it's just really heartwarming and you'll surely find it interesting.

He was never forgotten. It's only that those born after the 2000s don't know who he is. The older generations are well aware of him..

He came to my home town Santa Cruz, Jamaica after 82 world cup, he arranged training for all youngsters who were interested at the community centre football club. A very caring and kind man. Hit it with your laces! Bang!!!

Socrates was the precursor of Ruud Gullit. Tall, intelligent, skilful, powerful and all rounded.
If he is playing today, every top club will be very keen to recruit him. He is really fantastic.

For those who are not from Brazil, know that Sócrates did not graduate from any medical school. He graduated from the best university in Brazil, USP (It's like being a Harvard graduate and playing for the NBA, by analogy). He is one of the greatest idols in the history of Brazilian football, not just for Corinthians. Evidently, we Corinthians fans have even more admiration and love for him and his story. He was a different man, a really smart man with a great talent for playing football.

Make no mistake. Socrates will never be forgotten, no matter which Socrates you think of.

The 82’ match versus Italia is one of the best games of football ever played; by both sides.
Molto Grazie Socrates

Doc Soc can never be forgotten. His laconic lazy style of play was captivating. That squad with Leandro, Junior, Eder, Falcao, Cerezo, Oscar, Zico will always be remembered…..1982 World Cup will always be iconic.

I was a teenager here in Brazil during the 80's and even not supporting Corinthians I used to admire Socrates and all that he represented for my generation when pursuing freedom and democracy. After he retired, he used to write as columnist for some newspapers and I used to follow him because his point of view was always worth reading about. I couldn't hold my tears when he passed away. Thank you for this tribute to Socrates!

[pirarucu]

He's not forgotten, he lives in our heart. The ones who love the gold age of soccer will always worship and reverence him. He's one of the finest and elegant soccer player of all times!

Brilliant...he was a real character, I saw the 82 game vs Italy. This Brazil team was one if the finest ever . RIP Socrates sheer elegance, poetry in motion.

[francosoliman]

I never underrated this Football Genius. A man with a medical degree and an Absolute Class player. One of the Great Brazil Legends. 🇧🇷

[jookingstudio]

I don't know about him being underrated, but any football fan of my generation rated him among the very best. A true proponent of samba football. A legend

[roynickson]

The Brazilian team of 1982 was the best team i have ever seen .

[donvito]

So true. very underrated player, nobody mention his name when they talk about great players in history. his brother Rai was a good player as well

[johnalcorn]

Probably the Greatest midfielder of all times.He was the heartbeat of the great Brazilian football team.

FORGOTTEN? NO CHANCE!

WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED ❤
LOVE FROM ENGLAND

Never forgotten by my generation....including Zico, Junior, Eder, Falcao... I cried when they lost that match ( remember watching with my siblings, Dad )

[lulezimaliaj]

I grew up in 70 and 80s and I always supported Brazil and for me Socrates is the best I've seen. His elegance and intelligent play was out of this world. Brazil 1982 was by far the best team to ever grace a football pitch and Socrates was the captain. And he was a great human being too.

Great player, the midfield philosopher Socrates. Respects from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
