It was mayhem at Garforth Town on a freezing day in november 2004. The stands of the little club were packed. Hundreds of people were still trying to get in. Media from all over England traveled to this non-league team, to cover what was happening there. Because this little club, Garforth Town, managed to sign the Brazilian football legend Socrates. And he was about to make his debut for the club, as a 50 year old.It would be one of Socrates' last big adventures, before he tragically passed away. In this episode of our podcast we reconstruct the story of the time the Brazilian football legend Socrates turned up at Garforth Town in England. It’s a bittersweet story about a Brazilian military dictatorship, a pink dressing room, a revolution, beer, cigarettes and a struggle to find purpose in life.- Hosted on Acast.
