Socrates (footballer) quotes

[leicester_til_i_die]

After seeing the sad news that socrates is in intensive care, I've been trying to explain to some colleagues about how he was heavy smoker and still one of the best to play the game. Did he make a quote starting along the lines of great players do not need to run? I seem to remember hearing something along those lines but can't remember it fully nor find it on google. Would anyone be able to help me out?

I think Brian Clough said it. Not sure about Socrates.

I notice you've moved to Rockhampton. Can I assume you were offered the greatest job on earth to entice you to move there?

He gave a load of interviews about ten years ago when he played a game for Garforth Town in the Northern League.

More importantly, the thread "McGivern the not very good footballer" started by Jas comes up as the Similar Thread. That's strange.

I thought it was him when he was asked about playing football and smoking.

Kind of. Civil Engineering and construction isn't, well wasn't 6 months ago, So I moved to Brisbane on the off chance of finding something. After the floods/cyclones it quickly became apparent that Central Queensland/North Queensland were begging anyone who had any civils background. It turned from me taking any job going to getting 3 or 4 companies to play off each other!

Its not a bad place. Like everywhere its got its good side and bad, just the bad side is like hell. I found out today it has the most murders per person in Aus though!

There are some strange people living here......

It should read most murders per capita (I think that reads better!)
