Socrates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira (1954 – 2011)
Just learned of a great childhood hero who died relatively young at age 57. Socrates a charismatic and talented brazilian futbol player was also known to be an unwavering cigarette user.
I am a little late in learning the news of his passing but no less moved by his loss and what he represented in the futbol world.
Adeus, doutor!
