Socrates, who joins former England international Lee Sharpe at the club, skippered Brazil at two World Cups and was unquestionably one of the greatest players of his generation.
He has signed a one-month deal with the club and is expected to make his debut against Tadcaster Albion in front of a capacity 3,000 home crowd at Garforth - a far cry from playing in front of 200,000 at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro.Sighh, i was at Tadcaster Albions when they played us. Didnt get in the team for the game though, as i was only like 17/18 back then and the Manager was a **** and picked all the older guys and people he knew rather than who should be playing. Was back in the team 2 weeks later which was a bit ghey.
I expect Cafu will make just as bigger impression as they did a few years ago though.
