The 1982 team of Falcão, Zico, Eder and Junior has been richly documented, its place in history defined by the glorious elegance of its failure. The legacy of Socrates, however, was bigger. Hundreds of players have won the World Cup – but there has only ever been one Socrates. “I am an anti-athlete,” he once said. “I cannot deny myself certain lapses from the strict regime of a sportsman. You have to take me as I am.”
