My favourite player from the 80's.

Allow me to say that Barcelona might be the best team in history but the most magical team that has ever graced the grass was the "Selecção" from '82.

They didn't allow themselves to be boring!

Sócrates: paediatrician, football intellectual, awkward and intransigent thinker, great footballer. Thanks for all. RIP
