Doctor Socrates: Footballer, Philosopher, Legend by Andrew Downie

Doctor Socrates: Footballer, Philosopher, Legend by Andrew Downie

He captained the most beautiful Brazil side that never won a World Cup, qualified as a physician, smoked, drank, and used his club to run an experiment in workplace democracy under a military dictatorship.

Andrew Downie tells the story of Socrates and Corinthians Democracy — where players voted on everything from transfers to kick-off times — and of a man who cared more about the argument than the trophy.

One of the best football biographies written, and as much about Brazilian politics as about the game.
