Incredible player (the BT Sport documentary is great) but he won very little:
Chelsea - 169 games and 132 goals and no trophies
Milan - 14 games, 9 goals, and a Serie A medal but he was home by then!
Spurs - 381 games, 266 goals, 2 FA Cups and 1 ECWC
West Ham - 40 games and 13 goals and no trophies
England - 57 caps and 44 goals and of course missed WC quarters, semis and final
Socrates played brilliant football for Botafogo, Corinthians, Brazil, and won nothing: some local trophies but no national leagues or cups and nothing with Brazil.
Our own Jermaine Defoe - prior to 55 - played 682 games, had 57 caps, and scored 285 goals and won 1 League Cup....15 years ago.
Any others you can think of?
