Zico was a creative playmaker, with excellent technical skills, vision and an eye for goal, who is considered one of the most clinical finishers and best passers ever, as well as one of the greatest players of all time. He is also widely regarded as the greatest Brazilian to never win the World Cup. In 1999, Zico came eighth in the FIFA Player of the Century grand jury vote, and in 2004 was named in the FIFA 100 list of the world s greatest living players. As stated by Pelé himself, throughout the years, the one player that came closest to me was Zico .
Sócrates was capped sixty times for Brazil between May 1979 and June 1986. He played for, and captained, Brazil in the 1982 World Cup, partnering Cerezo, Falcao and Zico in midfield. He scored twice in that tournament, one of them being a marvelous goal against the Soviet Union when he dribbled past two players before firing it home from long range. Brazil didn t reach the semifinals in that tournament, but played some wonderful football.
Here are two Brazil retro football shirts signed by Brazilian legends Zico & Sócrates at signing sessions carried out and attended by Allstarsignings in Birmingham, 18th March 2009 and Milan, 24th September 2022.
The item comes with an Allstarsignings certificate of authenticity which will have photographic proof inserted into it.
