Football's Worst Ever Cheating Divers

By Simon Gallagher / April 30, 2018

8. Steven Gerrard

Steven Gerrard has been a vocal advocate of honour in the game for some time, insisting he'd have a word with team-mates he thought were deliberately diving and would never be caught perpetrating such a heinous act himself ever. If only the truth were quite so simple.

He was famously booked for diving against Andorra in a game England should have bossed, and that is just one of many acts of simulation by the Liverpool captain. He is far from a wholly virtuous character, which perhaps explains why he never "had a word" with Luis Suarez when he was on Merseyside.
