Socrates is dead

I saw him play his one game for Garfoth Town, was a shame to see him wheeled out in a publicity stunt but there was still the occasional flash of the genius that was once there

Socrates himself.............is particularly missed. A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed!

He was a trained Doctor and smoked a pack of fags a day throughout his career.

Is it better to live your life as you wish and go to the grave early, or wrap yourself in cotton wool and die in some lonely nursing home, stuck in front of the telly all day peeing your pants?

A surprisingly large number of doctors smoke. They generally drink like fishes as well.
