Nice extract from a book here on Socrates. A member of what is to me the greatest team never to win the World Cup. We all have our favourites, but Brazil '82 team sticks out as it was the first WC that I followed from beginning to end.

Probably the best midfield of all time, most players on that team would walk onto any team in history.

This is the goal that he refers to:
