As it acknowledges, people who didn't see Pele play

World Cup winner in Sweden in 1958 as a 17-year-old and again in Mexico in I970. Maradona not fit to tie his laces . And a controverial goal doesn't have to involve cheating. Harold Larwood's bodyline bowling was controversial but it was within the rules. Had it been an English player who punched the ball into the net, I don't think there would have been this much fuss over so many years'
