Diving in football has sadly become a consistent feature of the beautiful game. The arrival of VAR should go some way to removing the blemish of play acting, but in years prior to technological aid, we've seen some truly comical attempts to con the referee.
We've seen grown men look like a fish out of water, flopping all over the place to try and help their team prosper. We've seen players go down holding parts of their body that hadn't even come in contact with boot or ball; if there's a chance to fool the officials, some players don't need a second thought.
