Story. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/funny_old_game/3957519.stm)

And yes, it IS the Brazilian legends and not some guy called Phil Socrates from Selby.

Is he a good philosopher?

Who knows.

He's a fucking good footballer though.

Fucking hell. :crazyeyes

Those may be some of the greatest players ever to ever grace the field, but I dunno how Dr Socrates will handle being on the end of a two-footer from a 16 stone bricklayer called Fred.

So how many other people (aside from myself) on this board have international quality players in their local non-league team? :p

Half my local non league team could get a game for Scotland if that counts :confused:

Did Careca join as well? I heard it was only Socrates. The manager was also going to ask Zico but he asked Socrates first and he agreed.

The team I play for has a player who recently played for montserrat in a world cup qualifier. They are the lowest ranked team in the world. They played Bermuda and Shaun Goater played up front for them.
