Can’t believe I’m out on my own with Ashley Barnes, he was horrendous for it.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Klinsmann he was one of the worst for it and also that annoying way he celebrated goals as well.

Was it Nani who was rolling around in his death throes, but when the ref moved off he got up ran in front of the ref and then resumed said death throes?

Who was that Chelsea twat in the Aurelio freekick game who was rolling around in agony in the penalty area because his hair had come undone?

Yep, I think that's the one. Got caught up a bit in his own lie there.

Rivaldo in the 2002 World Cup. Proper shithousery. Got a fine after, but that didn’t help turkey who went a man down.

No list is complete without Jürgen Klinsmann.

Got to be.

Was he bad when he played in the Premier League though? He only played 2 season's, I think. I know when he joined Spurs he had a reputation, and celebrated his first goal with a dive celebration

Fernandes is the biggest cheat to ever grace these shores

You'll never see his like again

carling · « **Reply #90 on:** January 31, 2024, 05:25:34 am »

Ashley Young got one of my votes. I don't remember another player diving when he was so far away from the defender.

TomDcs · « **Reply #91 on:** January 31, 2024, 07:53:45 am »

How’s no-one mentioned Nani yet

Grealish is almost as bad IMO. It's just that few of us bother watching the cheats play, and he's on the bench half the time. However, he's an appalling cheat, more interested in falling over for free kicks than trying to beat his marker.

Fernandes has that repulsive general attitude and rodent-like features to go along with his overall diving that makes him stand out, though!

That's what I thought, should have been included.

Checking to see if he's okay first, most probably...

Mister Flip Flop · « **Reply #99 on:** February 26, 2024, 07:37:15 am »

Kane is the obvious answer, obviously.

I think because he's English the referee's let him away with it more and im not sure if he's toned it down since joining Munich but he's a particularly shithouse individual with that backing into players whilst they are jumping move causing them injury on landing and then play acting as he's been shot himself.

Honourable mentions for Gordon and Fernandes also.

Haha looks like the scene from Troy where Achilles is shoot in his, well, achilles

elsewhere · « **Reply #101 on:** February 26, 2024, 09:30:34 am »

Saka deserves too be at least at 10% on that list.

JRed · « **Reply #102 on:** February 26, 2024, 10:55:48 am »

I went for Grealish, Drogba and Robben.
Yes, others may be worse divers, just, but I went with ones who have annoyed me by benefiting from their diving by winning trophies. Spurs players obviously not included in that.
Saka will no doubt be in that group if Arsenal start winning trophies.

Jwils21 · « **Reply #103 on:** February 26, 2024, 11:37:48 am »

55% of the people on that rather accurate list of serial divers are English.

Bloody foreigners corrupting our brave English lions.

King_doggerel · « **Reply #104 on:** April 10, 2024, 02:29:16 am »

How is Saka at 3%? i would vote for him twice if I could, he's really upped his game this season. Diving little weasel.

kesey · « **Reply #105 on:** April 10, 2024, 02:36:43 am »

That ref when Di Canio pushed him.

KillieRed · « **Reply #106 on:** April 10, 2024, 10:24:32 am »

No Salah? Everybody on the internet says he’s the worst diver ever.

Redley · « **Reply #107 on:** April 10, 2024, 10:52:57 am »

Saka for sure is the worst currently, I think very likely the worst in PL history.

JRed · « **Reply #108 on:** April 10, 2024, 10:56:11 am »

Saka would get my vote now. He has really upped his game in terms of diving and cheating this season.

Dougle · « **Reply #109 on:** April 10, 2024, 01:48:24 pm »

Gotta be Bruno of the current lot. He has a long career of complete tittery. Honary mention for Ashley Young to. Klinsmann was a proper diver from the past. Of the new young generation Saka is out in front.

Poll
