One other point worth considering, is that Pele and Best played at a time when defenders could actually
tackle an opponent. There is no way that Henry would have scored the goal he did against Liverpool faced with Norman Hunter, Nobby Stiles, Ron (Chopper) Harris etc. As a former defender myself It irks me to see perfectly good, solid, hard tackles called as fouls.
PS. I cannot recall any time that Best, Pele or any other player I mentioned ever deliberately dived. And I include Van Nis in my list of divers as well.
