Former Brazil captain Socrates has died at the age of 57.

He had been in a critical condition with an intestinal
infection since being admitted to intensive care on Friday at a hospital
in Sao Paulo.

Socrates, who was widely regarded as one of the greatest ever midfielders, was moved onto a life support machine on Saturday.

He played in two World Cups, won 60 caps for his country between 1979 and 1986 and scored 22 goals.
