Absolute divs, or should I say absolute ENGLISH divs, will say that Maradona's handball goal overshadows everything else he did.

But that's because they are divs.

What Henry did would have been done by pretty much every player playing the game. He was chasing the ball, the bounce of the ball was taking it out of play, it virtually fell into his hand and he instinctively used his hand to keep the ball in play.

Any player would have willingly done it if it took their side to the World Cup.

Divs will say this will overshadow what Henry's achieved, but that's because they are divs.

recall an incident a few years ago. a different scenario but still sportsmanship.

the goalkeeper was down on the ground injured outside the area and a player crossed the ball into Di Canio who caught the ball instead of putting the ball into an open net.

the bottom line you can say what you want but i bet that for years to come Henry will be remembered for that alot- you know its true because the Maradona incident still gets brought up now.

Not only that but, by RL Fans standards, he is obviously a blatant racist!
