General Information
Description
S�crates Brasileiro Sampaio de Souza Vieira de Oliveira, MD, simply S�crates, was a Brazilian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder. His doctorate in medicine and his political awareness, earned him the nickname "Doctor Socrates". Easily recognizable for his beard and headband, S�crates became the "symbol of cool for a whole generation of football supporters". He was a technical playmaker, known for great through passes and his vision on the field, as well as his physical strength. He was also a two-footed player and a prolific goal scorer. His ability to read the game was highly valued, and his signature move was the blind heel pass. He was considered to be one of the greatest midfielders ever to play the game. In 1983, he was named South American Footballer of the Year. He was named by Pel� one of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers at a FIFA Awards ceremony in 2004. S�crates played for Brazil for seven years, scoring 22 goals and representing the nation in two World Cups. He captained the team in the 1982 FIFA World Cup; playing in midfield alongside Zico, Falc�o and �der, considered one of the greatest Brazilian national teams ever.
